Tan & Neutral Fabrics | L'Etoffe Fabrics

I had this here for a while and forgot to post but this is a very very nice soft pant fabric for a high waisted wide slack (for example). Has a 90's Armani Michelle Pfeiffer vibe. The color has a little striata so it doesn't look flat - it has a little dimension. The drape is liquid. I had stocked to go with this jacket fabric here. Finish is matte. Width: 55"  Rayon Made in Italy, Italian run mill, surplus

Base is antique ivory, light, shirting blouse shirt weight. Delicate, will be nice layered under a sweater or cardigan. Black threads are very fine and woven through both sides which are usable. Play with the directions in the pattern.  100% cotton Width: 63" Italian, designer fabric

This is a great alternative to the white shirt button, this color looks great with everything especially prints. The itnerest here is the slightly burnished rim that gives it that little bit of extra you need. Price per dozen, special price, good time to stock up! 11mm diameter deadstock Italian
