As we are a mainly female team, here at Croft Mill we understand how hard it can be to find the perfect dress in the perfect fabric for any given occasion. However we all agree on one mantra ‘you can never go wrong with a little black dress’ especially when it is made out of good quality fabric and measured to fit. Therefore here we have gathered together our black dress fabrics that you can use to make your own.
Luxury bright, scarlet red ponte roma, this fabric is firm and is densely knitted. Made to cover lumps and bumps, even when tightly fitted. OEKO-Tex ®.
A very special tweed boucle fabric, this material just reminds me of a tweed Chanel jacket and skirt but for the fraction of the cost. This fabric would make up the most beautiful jacket and skirt.
150 cm wide Midnight blue/black large gingham check style suiting fabric the colours are very much wove together so there’s no definitive edge to any of the check, it all melds in. How nice.
100% Cotton dress fabrics in black with a wrinkle finish great for hiding creases. Breathable and light-weight so good for summer garments and baby friendly.
Italian poly/viscose/spandex designer crepe dress fabrics in black. A medium weight stunning quality dress fabric with some give to make these well fitted dresses you like.
145cm wide dark silver very fine polyester dress fabric with boodles of stretch, and the silver is in fact printed on a black cloth so it is not bright silver but still has quite a sheen to it.
140cm wide. Is a fairly delicate net upon which is embroidered floral pattern with plenty of the sheer net in evidence, this is black on a very pale beige background
134cm wide. Guipure a black all over scrawley embroidered sort of design loosely linked by a spiders web sort of arrangement holding the whole thing together.
130cm wide, Double Scallop, whisper light, fancy polyester net in palest beige with a quite substantial floral pattern in black with a double scalloped edge, pick the bones out of that lot!
Not as in fishing but as in Spanish dancing, this is a 150cm wide black wool with polyester light weight suiting, woven pretty much like a fine loose hopsack, that it has a little bit of coarseness about it.
