Timeless elegance meets intricate textile artistry in this beautiful linen-look embroidered cotton. Featuring delicate black ornamental motifs scattered across a warm ivory background, this fabric is finished with a striking caramel-brown embroidered border inspired by traditional decorative textiles.

The subtle slub-like texture of the cotton creates the natural, rustic appearance of linen, while its 100% cotton composition offers the comfort and versatility of a natural fibre. The contrasting black embroidery adds definition throughout the fabric, while the richly detailed border introduces an entirely different level of visual interest.

At approximately 225 GSM, this embroidered cotton has a substantial feel, making it especially appealing for garments where texture, structure and decorative detail are important.

Part of our Luxury Manufacturer Deadstock selection, this fabric is available in limited quantities. Once sold out, it may not be restocked.

An Elegant Contrast of Embroidery and Texture

The beauty of this fabric lies in its carefully balanced design. Small, stylized black floral motifs repeat across the ivory background, creating a delicate, rhythmic pattern that feels both traditional and contemporary.

The warm ivory cotton features a subtle woven texture reminiscent of natural linen, adding depth and character without overpowering the embroidery.

Along one side of the fabric, an elaborate caramel-brown embroidered border introduces scrolling floral shapes, decorative flourishes and geometric detailing. The contrast between the small black motifs and the richly ornamented brown border creates a beautiful designer-inspired finish.

The combination of warm neutral tones and traditional ornamental embroidery makes this fabric particularly suitable for refined, vintage-inspired clothing, statement summer pieces and elegant everyday garments.

A Beautiful Ornamental Border

One of the most distinctive features of this fabric is its decorative embroidered border, positioned along one edge of the fabric.

Unlike an all-over embroidered design, this border provides an opportunity to incorporate the ornamental detailing directly into your sewing project.

Creative border placement ideas:

• Position the border along the bottom of a gathered skirt or dress.
• Use the embroidery as a decorative finish on a tunic or relaxed blouse.
• Incorporate the border into sleeve hems or cuffs.
• Feature the ornamental design on the front panels of an open jacket or vest.
• Create striking contrast panels or statement details.

Important: The ornamental border is located along one side of the fabric rather than repeated identically on both edges. Please study the product photographs and plan your cutting layout carefully if you intend to incorporate the border into your garment.

Perfect For

• Elegant Summer Dresses: Beautiful for relaxed dresses, tunic dresses and vintage-inspired silhouettes.
• Statement Skirts: Create A-line, gathered or gently structured skirts featuring the embroidered border at the hem.
• Blouses & Tunics: Ideal for loose-fitting tops, embroidered blouses and relaxed summer garments.
• Vests: Incorporate the ornamental border into a distinctive sleeveless layering piece.
• Lightweight Jackets: Suitable for selected unstructured or decorative jacket styles.
• Matching Sets: Create coordinating tops and skirts with thoughtful placement of the embroidered border.
• Decorative Home Accessories: Consider cushions, table runners and other textile accents that showcase the ornamental design.

Why We Love This Fabric

There is something particularly special about a fabric that combines an all-over embroidered pattern with a contrasting decorative border.

The black floral motifs create a delicate visual rhythm, while the warm brown border adds richness and an almost architectural quality to the design.

We also love the linen-like appearance of the ivory cotton. It brings a relaxed, natural character that balances the intricate embroidery beautifully.

Whether you choose a simple gathered skirt or an elegant dress, this fabric allows the textile itself to become the highlight of your handmade creation.

Sewing Recommendations

• Plan your pattern placement carefully to make the most of the one-sided ornamental border.
• Use a universal or sharp needle appropriate for woven cotton and test it on a scrap.
• Consider the direction of the repeated motifs when cutting pattern pieces.
• Allow additional fabric if you need to match embroidery motifs or position the border symmetrically.
• Test seams and pressing methods around the embroidered sections.
• Press from the reverse with a pressing cloth, preferably over a soft towel to protect the embroidery.
• Consider simple garment designs that highlight the embroidered motifs and border.

Care Recommendations

To preserve the embroidery and textured cotton surface, gentle handling is recommended.

• Washing: Test a sample in cold water with a gentle washing method before laundering the entire fabric.
• Detergent: Use a mild detergent.
• Bleach: Avoid bleach unless specifically approved by the manufacturer.
• Drying: Air dry to help preserve the embroidered details.
• Ironing: Press carefully from the reverse with a pressing cloth, testing the temperature first.

We recommend that you pre-wash a sample of your fabric using the same method you intend to use for your finished garment. These are general care recommendations, not manufacturer-confirmed instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this fabric linen or cotton?

This fabric is 100% cotton. Its subtly textured woven surface has a natural, linen-like appearance, but it does not contain linen fibres.

Does the embroidered border appear on both edges?

No. The decorative caramel-brown embroidered border is positioned along one side of the fabric. The main body features smaller black ornamental motifs. Please refer to the full-width photographs when planning your sewing project.

Can I use the embroidered border as a skirt or dress hem?

Yes! The decorative border is one of this fabric's most attractive features. With thoughtful pattern placement, it can become a beautiful design detail at the hem of a skirt, dress or tunic. A conventional hem or appropriate edge finish may still be required.

Is this fabric suitable for structured garments?

Its estimated 225 GSM weight suggests a more substantial feel than lightweight cotton voile. It may work well for A-line skirts, relaxed dresses, vests and certain unstructured jackets. We recommend testing its drape and feel for your chosen pattern.

Is this cotton fabric suitable for summer clothing?

Yes. Cotton is a natural fibre, and this fabric can work beautifully for summer dresses, skirts and blouses. Keep in mind that its estimated 225 GSM weight makes it more substantial than lightweight cotton lawn or voile.

Is the embroidery part of the fabric?

Yes. The black ornamental motifs and brown decorative border are embroidered into the fabric rather than being a simple printed design.

Will this fabric be restocked?

This fabric is part of our limited luxury manufacturer deadstock selection. Quantities are limited, and restocking cannot be guaranteed once the available inventory has sold out.
