Properties:
Fabulous Navy is meticulously woven from a high thread count of fine mercerised cotton yarns. The closely woven horizontal-grosgrain construction (similar to Ottoman rib) produces a light-mediumweight fabric with a subtle silken sheen, excellent stability and reassuring silken drape and excellent body which will create fullness and drama when pleated or gathered, good stability and strength to hold the structure required for snug-fitting bodices.
