Today I found a scrap of this Liberty fabric in my scrap box, just enough to make a bodice, so I made this cheerful little sheath dress. The print is an impressionistic watercolor floral with shades of pink, purple, and olive green. A belt of the same fabric with a pearl buckle defines the waist. The skirt is made of orchid pink silk noil.

This is a vintage piece of fabric, so I don’t know what it is officially named, but it is classic Liberty of London. Sweet peas in shades of French blue and rose pink are entwined on a navy blue ground with pale green foliage. The strapless, dropped waist bodice has a band and bow of rose pink silk at the top. The voluminous bubble skirt is as light as air.

Part of Liberty of London’s Classic Tana Lawn range, Strawberry Thief features birds intertwined with intricate florals and wild strawberries. It was originally designed by the legendary William Morris in 1883. It takes as its subject the thrushes that Morris found stealing fruit in the kitchen garden of his countryside home, Kelmscott Manor, in Oxfordshire.
Shades of grey, blue, rose and muted greens result in a sophisticated color palette. The sheath dress has the print as the boat necked bodice and the skirt is made from silk shambala in shades of soft green. Shambala is woven from three different silks, tussah, jitta, and noil, each of which takes on color differently, resulting in an ombre effect.
The short swing jacket is made from the shambala and is fully lined in the Liberty print. A scarf attaches to the top of the jacket and ties loosely in front, where it is held in place by a silver bird brooch. Another band of the Liberty print marks the transition between the bodice and skirt on the skirt.

A scarf of the Liberty fabric is attached to the neckline of the jacket as a collar and loosely ties in front, where it is fastened with a cream enamel and gold brooch. The ends of the scarf are hand fringed.
