This is a fabulous Italian yarn dye stripe stretch bengaline, an upscale linen/viscose/elastic blend with 45% stretch in the LENGTH only. PLEASE NOTE: The stripes run horizontally, but the stretch runs vertically, so you would cut your garment across the grain (so that the stripes run vertically on your garment). It drapes very differently with the stripes running horizontally (photo #3) vs. with the stripes running vertically (photo #4). The color is midnight blue with micro-thin light blue stripes (PANTONE 19-4025, 16-3919). It's an opaque, medium-light weight that is perfect for skinny jeans, fitted jacket or skirt, topper coat, etc. Dry clean or pre-wash and dry using the same method as you will want to use on your finished garment. Please test first, and avoid high heat.
