Silk, Silk, Silk!
Silk Jersey - Vanilla Ice is of course (as its name suggests) a wonderfully finely knitted silk fabric with a lightly textured finish thanks to its almost pique knit. Viewed closely the knitted design resembles a tiny diamond/honeycomb effect, where the fine slightly raised diagonals show off the subtle lustre of the silk.
This superfine knit feels cool to touch and is breathable and kind to sensitive skins. The closely knitted construction produces a hard-wearing fabric that is lightweight, slightly translucent and has a comfortable stretch across the width. Silk Jersey - Vanilla Ice is malleable drapey and has a semi-matte finish.
Cotton pique knits are traditionally used for polo shirts and sports type clothing. We think this silken beauty will make the most fabulous lightweight polo style tops- ideal for layering under tank tops/vests for super cool and breathable golfing wear... But consider the lightweight, classic ethereal ivory/iced vanilla hue and the soft drape and think outside the box to create softly gathered styles.
Bohemian, prairie style blouses with raglan sleeves and ruffled/smocked details will look and feel fabulous in this versatile silk pique knit. How about an alternative to your go-to silk shirt? Add a feminine tie neck and emphasise the drape quality. You can of course create wardrobe staples with a touch of silk luxury; camisoles, underslips, cool and breathable night attire and so much more.
