Specifications: Weight: Light GSM: 184 Composition: 100% Wool Width: 155cm / 61inch Pattern repeat: 5.8cm x 7cm / 2.3inch x 2.8inch Colour: Blue Eyed Prince is a classic monotone palette of black and white form the mainstay of this Classic Prince of Wales check the addition of an accent of cool Icelandic Blue throughout the fabric adds interest with the glimmer of a favourite blue-eyed boy. Properties: Lightly brushed cosy lambswool woven in a relaxed classic district (or Prince of Wales) checked weave, to produce a light-weight fabric that’s softly malleable, cosy and drapey. Stable width and lengthwise but with good bias ease due to the slightly open weave. Perfect for separates and stand-alone apparel. Garment Suggestions: Blue Eyed Prince is the perfect weight for creating less structured styles – the use of interfacing will be required for more structured areas. Create the classiest, neat French-Couture style suit; collarless boxy jacket and quilt your lining as in true designer fashion. If trousers are more your style, choose the Cordelia Trouserswide-legged and seriously stylish with an optional paper bag waistband. As this fabric is soft lambswool you may choose to not line your trousers (we advise sampling first). Neat shirt-style dresses and pinafore dresses with pleated skirts will have classic or preppy style depending on how you accessorise and team them with blouses or roll-neck tops. Create an alternative Brit style with a nod to Viv Westwood using tucks bias draping and edgy details – buckles, zips etc. Other Uses: Put all your offcuts to use for matching hats, caps, bags etc. interfacing is recommended.
