Span of Life Print Stretch Cotton Sateen with White Giraffes and Diamonds

“Going on a journey, whatever the destination,...” with our Mood Exclusive Span of Life Stretch Cotton Sateen, “...makes you feel suddenly awake and alive to everything.” 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. “Paused” in their journey, giraffes stand either paired or alone, facing frontwards or looking to their left or right against a buttercream backdrop, composing a very surreal scene—involving diamond eyes; 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. Semi-translucent—colors will show through; a lining would grant true opacity.
