designer yarn dye checker pattern cotton fancy weave

As soon as I saw this amazing piece from a very famous designer, I had to have it! It’s so pretty in real life; the photo doesn’t do it justice. It’s an all-cotton shirting weight with a black, red, white and ivory checker pattern that has a delicate, fresh, super modern look. It’s not a print—rather it’s a yarn-dyed clipped weave that alternates black and red checkers with white (yes white–although it looks discolored in the photo, it’s not) and ivory checkers. It has an 8″ repeat. There are some longer “floaters” on the back so a very light lining such as cotton batiste or silk habotai may be desired. It has a soft, cottony drape, it’s lightweight and a bit translucent. Perfect for a beautiful summer blouse, shirt, tunic, top, dress or skirt. Dry clean or hand wash, and hang to dry.
