Bearissima Swiss Batiste

Bearissima by Bear Threads Ltd

100% Cotton Swiss Batiste

55" Wide

This gorgeous batiste is the creme de la creme of Swiss batiste. This is an extremely beautiful fabric. My favorite. It has a silky finish and is incredibly soft. Choose this fabric when only the best will do...........

We receive many phone calls and inquires on which Swiss batiste to use for a Blessing Gown. I recommend the White or Ivory Bearissima. It is the most beautiful batiste I have ever seen and a joy to sew. Its quality is unsurpassed.

Bearissima is 55" wide, which gives you 23% more fabric per lineal yd. than the 45" fabrics. Swiss entredeux is also available.

Handwash only, roll in a towel to remove excess moisture and either lay flat to dry or line dry on a padded hanger. Iron while damp.

Special Comment: The photo (to the right) shows Maleah (at age 6) wearing a dress made with the Lilac color Bearissima. The pattern used for the dress is Catherine by Kay Guiles. It is embellished with white French lace and closes in the back with beauty pins (#15 - Enamel Painted). The Lilac color is absolutely gorgeous!
