This unusual fabric is woven with a fine, sheer warp thread which creates a translucent backdrop to the dogtooth pattern formed by the cotton weft, making it ideal for layered pieces. Diaphanous Dogtooth is perfect for summer projects and is equally suited for work and holiday garments. It has a lovely lustrous finish, a stable weave, soft feel and drapey handle.

We think it will make a smart top or tailored shirt to fit under a summer weight suit, an over-sized shirt/drapey garment for poolside cover-ups, or a pretty cotton frock with gathered or pleated detail. How about a lightweight summer dress for the little girl in your life, or even bridesmaid dresses?!

It would also look great used for sheer curtaining to give a romantic, airy feel to a room.

 *Note that this fabric has been photographed onto a white background, therefore the colours shown on the image, combined with the sheer and very light weight of the fabric make it appear as if there is an element of charcoal in Diaphanous Dogtooth - Black, this is not the case. The colour of this fabric is entirely black. However this image does show the pattern considerably better than the Lemon and Ivory colourways in the same pattern.*
