In todays blog we'll be talking about Dressmaking with fashion prints.  There is a wide range of Fashion Prints to choose from here at Calico Laine.  These fashion prints include jersey prints, satin prints and woven check brushed cottons. Animal prints are still going strong, and our selection of animal prints is a poular choice for dressmaking women's clothing.  The 'Fashion Print Animal' in tan and blue is proving to be a popuar choice for tops, as well as being another choice in dressmaking an individual pair of leggings! It's all about making a statement with the pattern as well as the design of clothing, and bright colours are back as we head into the spring and summer this year. Floral patterns are also still a favourite, and our 'Fashion Print Red' design is a stunning mix of floral patterns and animal print. Both of these are set to take over fashion again. Two of the most popular dressmaking designs last year were the playsuit and the jumpsuit, and already they are coming back into the shops bolder and brighter than before! Why not try our 'Printed Safan' fabrics to make a new addition to your summer wardrobe? You will be sure to stand out from the crowd! There is definitely a pattern to suite every taste in Calico Laine's range of fashion prints, and so may dressmaking options. Our Crepe Georgette fabrics are showing to be a beautiful choice for ladies' blouses and shirts, and with white/pink and white/mauves patterns, the floral patterns are delicate yet bright and colourful. Maxi dresses are another statement piece that you can't be without this summer! If you're not quite ready for summer of the bolder prints, then we also have a range of more subtle options.  Our 'grey/gold/pink' and 'grey/green/pink' are 100% cotton and are embroidered with stunnning floral patterns.
