Floral-patterned Grand Super-Wax fabric by Vlisco

'A more exclusive version of Super-Wax, rich in colours and bubbling, and printed with a gloss finish. The most defining (and beloved) feature of a Super-Wax is its duo-colour “bubbling” print effect...

...Grand Super-Wax is a luxurious twist on the original, using Vlisco cotton satin. Grand Super-Wax is made using a highly-unique wax printing technique unlike any other in the world: every piece is created with an unequalled and extraordinary level of care and precision.

First, a design in liquid wax is printed on cotton satin. A base dye such as indigo soaks into the cloth around the wax, leaving behind a deep, intense colour. The magic of the ‘wax-breaking’ during the printing process results in a large, irregular pattern of vein-like bubbles throughout the design.

One single piece of Grand Super-Wax goes through an average of 27 total step before it receives a final gloss finish, and a select number of Grand Super-Wax fabrics are covered from edge-to-edge in transparent glitter.'

Vlisco fabric I bought to make a quilt. Six yards of misprinted horses.

I made these black woollen trousers to go with these two tops I made earlier. The trouser pockets are the same Vlisco fabric as the asymmetric top. The fabric of the blouse might be real silk(?), but I got it secondhand for 3 euros! It reminds me of a map, and I love the green on gold.

Trouser pattern is from Knipmode, october 2019, asymmetric top from Jen Hewett's Print, Pattern, Sew (but I added the pleat), and the blouse pattern is Bruna from La Maison Victor with just the collar stand instead of the regular collar.
