From Italian designer deadstock, this is a fine quality printed viscose crepe woven, a blouse weight that is lightweight and nearly opaque with a flowing drape and a very subtle surface texture.

It has a matte finish and is stable in both directions. Perfect for blouses, tunics, tops, dresses and skirts, etc. Some styles may need lining or layering.
