Let me start by saying, this fabric is a GAME CHANGER for anyone who loves sewing their own clothes. The 95% rayon and 5% spandex blend gives it the perfect amount of stretch while maintaining that luxurious drape we all crave in flowy garments.
I recently used this exact Blue Lilac shade to make a midi skirt, and oh my - the way it moves with your body is pure magic! The fabric has just enough recovery to keep its shape but still flows beautifully when you walk. Plus, after multiple washes (because let's be real, I've been wearing this skirt nonstop), the color hasn't faded one bit.
The moisture-wicking properties are legit too. I wore my new skirt on a surprisingly warm day and stayed comfortable the whole time - no sticky fabric clinging to my legs. And can we talk about how soft this is? It feels like you're wearing pajamas but looks completely put together.
Now for some real talk - sewing with this was a breeze compared to other knits I've worked with. It doesn't curl at the edges excessively and feeds through my machine smoothly. That said, I'd recommend using a walking foot if you have one, just to prevent any potential stretching as you sew.
One tiny drawback? The color online wasn't 100% accurate (as warned in the description). My Blue Lilac arrived slightly more vibrant than pictured - which turned out to be a happy accident in my case! But definitely consider ordering swatches if color precision is crucial for your project.
At this price point (especially compared to other retailers), you're getting incredible value. I've already ordered more yardage in different colors because this has quickly become my go-to fabric for comfortable yet stylish handmade pieces.
