Viscose/ lyocell and polyamide fabric in a solid soft black colour.  This fabric feels soft, smooth, and slightly cool to the touch.  It has a lightly crinkled appearance with a subtle reflectiveness to it.  Has very good drape, with a nice fluid handle, airy body, and a touch of structure.  Great for bottoms such as palazzo pants or culottes, as well as jumpsuits, dresses, tops, and blouses.  Thin, but opaque on the skin.  Has slight wrinkle resistance as well.

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.
