This luxury cotton towelling fabric in light pink is designed for dressmaking enthusiasts seeking a soft, absorbent, and versatile material. Its key benefit is its suitability for creating comfortable garments like robes, loungewear, and beach cover-ups.

This fabric is cut from the roll and available by the metre.
