Viscose Twill Fabric – Himaya Paisley in Navy Limited Edition | My Dress Made
$13.95 USD
Designed by independent French studio My Dress Made, Himaya is paisley done properly — dense, intricate teardrops in ochre, warm brown and cream scrolling across a deep navy ground, with flashes of fuchsia doing the work that a metallic thread would do in a lesser print. It is a genuinely autumnal palette, rich without being heavy.
The print is carried on a viscose twill, and the twill construction is what makes the difference: the diagonal weave gives the cloth a soft, supple hand and a fluid drape that falls rather than floats. At 120 g/m² it moves with the body and gathers cleanly, which is why it photographs so well as a full-sleeved blouse or a long V-neck dress.
This is a Limited Edition design — produced responsibly in limited runs. When our stock of this fabric is gone, we will likely not be able to re-stock.

🪡 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 is fluid and will travel under the shears. The paisley is dense and reads as non-directional, so you can lay pieces either way and save yardage — but it is busy enough to swallow fine detail, so save your topstitching and pintucks for a quieter fabric and let the print carry the garment.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Is there any cashmere in this fabric?
No — it is 100% viscose. The confusion is a translation one: in French, cachemire names the paisley motif, not the fibre, so this fabric is sometimes listed as "viscose-cashmere". What you are buying is a viscose twill printed with a paisley design.
What can I sew with this fabric?
Flowing blouses, shirts, midi and maxi dresses, gathered skirts and wide-leg trousers. The drape suits volume — full sleeves, gathered waists and anything that needs to move.
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; no need to line.
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.
