This week I am highlighting Rayon!
Rayon was the leap into synthetic fabric, though it has a bit of a natural footprint. We still use it today for its sensational silky feel and gorgeous drape! Originally created in the 1800's to imitate silk through a regenerated cellulose fiber, this making it actually a semi-synthetic. It was not until the 1940's and 50's that gave us high-tenacity rayon, which is really what we still think of rayon being today.
I have two really lovely examples up for grabs today; both are excellent retro prints dating from the 1950's and 1960's. This first is a darling pink print with blue roses and the second is a baby soft pink floral with apples. Both are 1 yard in length and would look lovely utilized in a blouse or skirt!
