Viscose Twill Fabric – Aura Floral in Midnight Blue Limited Edition | My Dress Made
Designed by independent French studio My Dress Made, Aura is an exclusive floral where every flower was drawn by hand before being worked over with fine stippled dots — what the studio calls a saddle stitch. Up close that dotting is the whole story: it gives each bloom depth and shading the way engraving does, so the print has dimension rather than sitting flat on the surface.
The palette is deep and jewel-like — violet, plum, fuchsia, electric blue and copper glowing against a midnight blue ground. It is a genuinely autumn and winter floral, dark enough to carry you through fall and into winter.
The viscose twill is soft and silky-handed with a fluid drape that falls close to the body. At 120 g/m² it gathers beautifully into a full sleeve or a peplum without adding excessive bulk, and hangs elegantly in a trouser, skirt, or dress.
This is a Limited Edition design — produced in a single small run and never reprinted once sold out. When this fabric is gone, it is gone for good.

Best uses: dresses, blouses, shirts, skirts, jumpsuits, and flowing trousers.
Care: Machine wash at 30°C. Iron at a moderate temperature, 150°C maximum. Do not tumble dry. Do not dry clean.

🪡 Sewing Tips
Pre-wash before cutting — viscose moves on the first wash. Use a fine universal or microtex needle (70/10–80/12) with a shorter stitch length and cut single-layer with pattern weights; twill-woven viscose can shift under the shears. The floral is dense and non-directional, so you can lay pieces either way. Because the print does the decorating, this fabric rewards simple shapes with volume — a gathered sleeve, a tie waist, a wide leg — rather than heavy seaming or topstitching that would compete with it.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What can I sew with this fabric?
Dresses, blouses, shirts, skirts, jumpsuits and flowing trousers. It also makes a convincing two-piece — a tie-waist blouse over matching wide-leg trousers reads as a co-ord rather than a coincidence.
How much fabric do I need?
Fabric is sold by the half yard, cut in one continuous piece. A fitted top typically takes 2–3 half-yard units, a blouse or shirt 3–4, a skirt 3–4, and a midi dress 5–6 — order 4 units for 2 continuous yards.
Will it shrink?
Yes — expect some. Viscose typically moves around 5% on the first wash, enough to change a fit noticeably. My Dress Made don't publish a figure for this fabric specifically, so pre-wash before cutting and wash it the way you intend to wash the finished garment.
Is it see-through?
No — this viscose twill is opaque; unlined garments are fine.
What needle and thread should I use?
A fine universal or microtex needle (70/10–80/12) with all-purpose polyester thread and a slightly shorter stitch length; test on a scrap first.
Is it really limited edition?
Yes — My Dress Made produces fabric in small runs to prevent over production and waste. When our stock of this fabric sells out, we will likely not be able to re-stock. We stock it here in the US, so there are no import shipping, tariff, or customs processing fees.
