Aqua Silk Crepe Tulip Print
Aqua floating tulip print semi sheer. I actually laid some aqua bright under it (didn't buy it but can) and it was too much. In the image I have an aqua silk twill in stock leaning more green and lighter which is much nicer - however not as soft draping as a georgette, it will probably soften up if washed LMK if you have any questions. Semi sheer silk crepe. Price is below wholesale.

Please reach out with any questions on denim care. This washed up well but I still recommend laying flat in tepid water for an hour to remove starch and hanging dry straight and flat, reshape and press when damp/almost dry.
