Rib Knit Jersey Fabric - Classic Flower Brown Bordeaux

Rib Knit Jersey Fabric - Classic Flower Brown Bordeaux

This rib knit jersey is covered in small floral bouquets scattered across an off-white background, printed in warm brown, dusty rose and deep bordeaux tones with olive green stems tying each little cluster together. The fine ribbed structure gives the fabric a soft vertical texture that you can both see and feel, adding some body without making it heavy. The print has that slightly faded, painterly quality that keeps it looking classic rather than childish, which is exactly what makes this fabric so easy to place in a wardrobe. It sits somewhere between vintage tea dress and modern everyday basic, and that balance is hard to find.

What kind of fabric is this

This is a cotton rib knit jersey made with compact yarn, which gives the ribs a clean, defined look rather than a loose or fuzzy finish. The Lycra content means the fabric moves with the body in every direction, so it keeps its shape after wear and wash instead of sagging out. Because it is a knit, there is no fraying to worry about at the cut edges, which makes it forgiving to sew even if you are still getting comfortable with knit fabrics. The weight sits in a comfortable middle ground, not too thin for structure, not too heavy for warmer days. You can find more background on this fabric family on our rib knit jersey fabric page, including how it compares to our other digitally printed rib knits.
