Better in the Night Stretch Cotton Sateen by Mood - Striped Design

“In daylight, one can keep things simple and dress sedately.” But our Mood Exclusive Better in the Night Stretch Cotton Sateen thinks “the best clothing for night is showy and dazzling formal wear”. From the Mood Exclusive Kenko Collection: Crisp with a soft, gummy feel, this medium-weight wonder expresses a dull sheen across its digitally-printed facing. Vertical stripes bouncing between stretch limo and whitecap gray highlight vibrant creatures in their very own way, together composing a surreal scene; and as “...the sight sinks deeply into one's being... one feels ‘Oh! for a friend with whom to share this!'”. And, who wouldn't want to share this gem? With its anti-static make-up, breathability, knack for drawing perspiration away from the body, and wrinkle-resistant surface, it is quite the dream! Specially constructed with a satin weave, twisted staple fibers combine with elastomeric fibers—producing a crosswise stretch of about 10%—while weft yarns floating over (at least four) warp yarns create a hint of luster and smooth surface, (overall similar to a twill weave without yielding a diagonal ridge). “...being pleasing to the eye and at the same time useful for all sorts of purposes…” translate this stunning beauty into countless silhouettes—taking inspiration from its semi-stiff, flexible drape (and the poetic writings of Yoshida Kenko!): Sew together body-hugging looks such as a blouse or sheath dress with a billowing peplum, high-waisted wide leg trousers, shirt dresses, and more! Also great for A-line garments, check out The Cypress Dress free sewing pattern (made from cotton sateen!) offered on our Mood Sewciety blog. Alternating between semi-translucent and opaque, color may show through; consider introducing a lining for true opacity, though one is not of necessity.
