French visc/linen/silk clipped weave - french blue

Wow, what a stunning weave and wonderful blend of fibers this is! It's a French clipped weave (similar to a jacquard or damask but the long fibers are cut to a tiny fringe around the design elements) with a leaf stalk design in a gorgeous french blue color (PANTONE 16-4032) with touches of pink and aqua. It's lightweight with a bit of crispness to the drape and is just a wee bit sheer. A blouse, shirt or tunic would not necessarily need lining, but for a dress or skirt I would recommend lining with habotai, crepe de chine, or if you want a bit more crispness, organza. The face/right side (shown) is the side that doesn't have the clipped edges around the design. Dress up or down--works equally well with anything from denim to dupioni. I suspect that this fabric is best dry cleaned, although feel free to test a swatch to see how it does with hand- or machine-washing.
