Italian Slinky Swim Suit Lining Light Beige
Hand selected from Italy, smooth and slinky against the skin. I also have a dark brown in stock, this one is good for obviously lighter prints with some white, choose your lining based on the exterior fabric not your skin tone. When it stretches you want to have opacity on the print.

Vintage policy: all vintage items are sold as is. They are special works of art from a time and place when design and quality were standard. These are from Italy. The quality, the concept, and attention to detail are all superb. There may be handmade finishes. I recommend always testing any washing. Usually cool water hang dry is fine if on a garment. No dryer. No hot sun. Test wash them on the fabric first. Some buttons were made in two pieces and may need some adhesive repair at some point which can be easily glued back. If there is a major issue please feel free to reach out.

Perfect for obvious jeans, skirts, jackets, great if you want to leave a raw edge. Candiani Italian selvedge denim. Soft. About 11+ ounce. It has been treated and washed. I also have some extra pieces maybe there is a little irregularity, some extra marbling, etc. Still good. Will post these or reach out for more info.

Italian Special Weave Sunkissed Striped Cotton
At first this may look like a simple stripe but upon closer inspection this stripe is extra special especially when looking at the weave on the wrong side. The stripes have varying types if weave on a natural cotton base, the green are raised. The colors are fantastic, everything about this piece shows an attention to detail that is disappearing, this mill has been "acquired" by an industry behemoth. This is one of the pre-sell out rolls. Suitable for shirts, light dresses, gathered skirts, and other types of summer dressings.

Italian Stretch Cotton Textured Stripe
A couple of details make this piece special, when you look close the way it is woven gives it texture and dimension, the red is overlapped with tiny ivory cotton threads and in between are grey pinstripes very tiny and every other one is woven in a different pattern. Also this has a bit of stretch to it so if you want to make a wrapped snug type garment this will be to your advantage, or you can ignore. Suitable for summer dressing, opaque, loose skirts, shirt dresses, tops, loose pants. stripes run crossgrain.
