Drape yourself in Diamonds and Pearls. This lovely twill sparkles and shimmers as it waves so softly as you walk — or dance! Celebrate life in a dress, shirt or scarf of this special silk.

A sumptuous fabric for dresses, shirts and undergarments. Twill weave makes for an especially flowey drapey effect. The warm softness is delicious to feel next to your skin.  Highly recommended for undergarments.  Besides feeling great, it is also good for your health.  Natural silk “breathes” and wicks away moisture.  It also feeds the skin with healthful energy that silk naturally draws from the air.
