Viscose/ polyamide fabric with a painterly floral scene in shades of turquoise green, pale cool pinks, white, and pops of sky blue.  It reminds me of water lilies.  There is a subtle reflectiveness to the fabric in some lights.  It feels cool to the touch, smooth, soft, and comfortable against the skin.  It has a lightly crinkled appearance in the weft or widthwise direction, which is quite common with this fabric type.  The light-coloured areas are slightly translucent.  Fabric has good drape with some body and moderate structure.  It is suitable for clothing such as tops, dresses, jumpsuits, shirts, and bottoms. 

General info:
All fabrics in this update are woven of plant-based fibres in one direction, and polyamide/ nylon in the other direction (typically the warp or lengthwise yarns). Polyamide adds strength, body, and stability, without adding too much weight.  The plant-based fibres take colour well and keep the fabric feeling softer against the skin.  One thing I like about this type of fabric is that it drapes well yet tends to skim the body, rather than cling to it.
