This visually stunning, lightweight, high quality satin was originally created for a renowned British ladies and menswear designer famous for their fine occasion wear with quirky and elegant styles; inspired by history and the natural world. We decided to name this fabric SOS; as an acronym that stands for Special Occasion Satin, referencing this particular fabric and its sister fabrics in the collection. Click here to see the full range of Special Occasion Satin fabrics.

Memory Lane is a finely woven lightweight polyester satin twill printed with the most fabulous and visually stunning photo realistic allover design. This designer fabric and silken stunner will appeal to those who love history and quirky British design.

Muted tones of antique ivory, sepia, duck egg, heritage green and occasional pops of red and gold colour the faded photographs and postcards of family albums, creating the nostalgic splendour for this seriously stylish satin. Images of happy holidays, wedded bliss, team spirit and wartime memories abound. Lovers of vintage and retro fashions will adore this superb designer satin. Ideal for creating stylish garments with retro chic.

Boasting a super soft silky feel and subtle sheen you would be forgiven for thinking this was silk. This first rate satin has a sumptuous hand which is stable width and lengthwise, with a delicious drape. All you have to decide now is what to make...

Memory Lane will of course make stunning occasion wear pieces for ladies and gents; dresses with drape & gathered details, bow tie blouses & dresses, cowl-necked shift dresses, simple dolman sleeved tops and quick-make slashed-neck scarf style tops will all add a hint of luxury to a simple jeans and top outfit. Take this seriously smart satin and create '50s inspired open revere shirts like Merchant & Mills- All State (PDF) Extend this style into shirtdresses for ladies or pleated or gathered shirt-waister dresses for true vintage flair.

Spoil yourself or someone special and create stylish and sumptuous traditional pyjamas with coordinating piped collars and pocket tops. Or the prettiest camisole and shorts set with coordinating lace and matching kimono robe. Take a look at Vanessa Mooncie's 'The Gentleman's Wardrobe' for a superb gents robe pattern with a stylish vintage vibe.
