Italian fancy weave semi-sheer - black/chocolate

This is a delicate and exquisite Italian fancy weave (5.5" vertical repeat), textured, lightweight and semi-sheer with a soft drape that has a bit of body. It has fibers of various textures and thicknesses, some with a subtle shimmer, to create an intricate decorative stripe in black and chocolate (PANTONE 19-1420, etc.). It has a fairly loose weave and tends to ravel, so the edges of each pattern piece should be serged or zigzagged before construction (at least that's what I would do). It can be underlined to add support and structure, or used as it is for a delicate top, over jacket, vest, tunic, etc. Some styles will need lining or layering. Dry cleaning recommended.
