This lightweight rayon batiste fabric is sought after for breezy summer dresses, tops, skirts, and loose pants. It is thin, unbelievably touchable (more like silk than cotton), and cool. This fabric is so drapey and flowing that it just begs to work its magic in tunics, wrap-arounds, ruffles, and culottes. It’s perfect for a day dress to kick around in or even a summer pajama set.
This original print was created exclusively for Sartor Bohemia.
EcoVero, a trademark of the Lenzing company, is rayon viscose fabric made to strict sustainability standards. The raw material is wood from sustainably managed forests. The manufacturing process itself, from tree to fiber, has been optimized to minimize its impact on the environment. In terms of water consumption, chemical use, and overall carbon footprint, EcoVero rayon is one of the most ecological textiles currently available, surpassing not just cotton, but traditional rayons as well, including lyocell. What’s more, it’s entirely recyclable!
Machine wash cool (30°C). Iron on cotton setting. This is a very fine fabric, use a low spin cycle – gentle handling will extend its lifespan.
Limited editions are fabrics of exceptional quality or patterns that have been designed and produced exclusively under the Sartor brand. As a rule, they do not repeat and are therefore only available while supplies last. Don't miss your chance to own a true original.
If we recommend pre-shrinking for a particular fabric, we generally say so in the product description. As a rule, pre-shrinking is needed for linen, cotton, and rayon, but for finer fabrics (light rayon, Tencel and modal) proceed with care – don't use hot water or a hot iron, simply launder the fabric the way you will be laundering the completed garment.
