A288388......Faux de Chine 3/4 Sleeve Blouse

Is anyone familiar with this fabric? Any stretch? Too hot for the south? See through? Thanks everyone!!

I'm not familiar with this fabric but since it has 10% spandex, I would expect it has some give. I checked the click here chart and the measurements are very generous on this item. So, I took a chance and ordered the adobe and the pale apricot - two colors that don't come along often.

Look at A276292 Linea by Louis Dell'Olio Drawstring Shirt Dress and hear Louis talk about this material.

Further googling on Louis' blog says that the safari shirt with tank (A214117) -- the tanks are a faux de chine material.

That adobe color in A288388 surely would be pretty with turquoise or coral jewelry.

I think the draw string dress is the same faux de chine fabric that he used last spring. That dress wasn't see though or hot to wear. I hvae the olivish color.

I have the dress in blue- definitely not see through and very comfortable for hot summer weather. Love the fabric!
