Viscose/ polyamide voile-like fabric with a classical floral print in soft warm yellow and white (the style reminds me a little of toile de Jouy).  There is a very subtle satiny sheen to the fabric.  It is fine-textured and feels silky soft, smooth, and slightly cool to the touch.  Somewhat translucent, with very good drape, some fluid movement and body, and a touch of structure.  Suitable for clothing such as blouses, thin shirts, and lined dresses.  This fabric may look delicate but it is actually quite sturdy thanks to the polyamide.  

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.
