I am happy to offer Marcy’s Circle Members a first-dibs deal on two premium black deadstock fabrics, one knit and one woven, from two celebrated fashion houses—Alice + Olivia and Alexander Wang.
Shown above is Butterick 6465 made with similar fabrics to Alexander Wang, a cotton jersey knit, and Boston Blackie, a stretch linen blend woven.
Marcy’s Circle members (that’s you) are invited to enter code NOIRCOUTURE at checkout for 20% off both fabrics through March 22.
Alexander Wang is a superb quality black cotton jersey knit from the designer by the same name. It is a perfect non-clinging weight and a pleasure to sew and to wear.
Boston Blackie is a pure, rich black stretch linen blend woven from NYC/LA fashion house Alice & Olivia. The beautiful blend means minimal wrinkling, making it ideal for travelwear.
