designer colored chevrons cotton jacquard

I met an art-to-wear designer at a trade show recently, and was invited to her studio to sort through some fabrics that she had used in previous seasons! This one really caught my eye—the colors are so pretty and the weight is so versatile. It is an opaque shirting/dress weight with a soft drape with a bit of body, and the jacquard chevron weave is given dimension by the change of colors going across the fabric in a 15.5 horizontal repeat (the stripes run vertically, as shown). Colors include a base of slate gray mixed with blue, turquoise, pink, silver, olive, coral and ginger (PANTONE 17-1501, 18-3945, 17-2520, 16-0421, 17-1418, etc.). Perfect for shirts, tops, tunics, dresses, skirts, etc. So many possibilities for mixing of directional stripes, cutting on the bias, etc. I am sure to “steal” a bit, as I bought quite a lot of yardage! Please test first if you wish to hand wash and hang to dry, or dry clean.
