Viscose Twill Fabric – Aura Floral in Midnight Blue Limited Edition | My Dress Made

✈️ Pre-order — expected 30 September. This fabric is on its way to us from France. Order now to reserve your yardage; we cut and ship pre-orders in the order they were placed, as soon as it lands.

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 wear with boots and knitwear rather than only in summer.

The viscose twill underneath 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 bulk, and it makes up as readily into flowing trousers as into a blouse.

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.

Composition: 100% viscose twill. Made from wood fibres grown in sustainably managed forests.

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.

Sold by the half yard.

🪡 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 travels 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

When will my order ship?

This is a pre-order. The fabric is expected to reach us by 30 September, and we cut and ship pre-orders in the order they were placed as soon as it arrives. If you order other items at the same time, the whole order ships together once the fabric is here — place a separate order if you need the rest sooner.

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 each design in a single small run and never reprints it. When our fabric sells out, this print is gone for good. We stock it here in the US, so there are no import shipping, tariff, or customs processing fees.
