Can anyone comment on the weight? I like drapey, but since it's solid, I would want it heavy enough not to show every line of my bra. Thanks. jerri

It is also a rayon/spandex so it could be the same fabric. Vogue Patterns used the fabric to make up one of their edgy patterns, which is why I bought it. It's on the "heavier" side of rayon knits. I think you will be satisfied with it, though you can always order a sample. I bought the black. (Click the link to see the dress where Vogue used the same fabric.) ------ http://communingwithfabric.blogspot.com/

I used a knit called Annabelle from Fabricana in Vancouver to make a wrap dress. It was a medium weight rayon spandex, washes really well and did not pill or lose colour. -- Edited on 1/9/12 4:53 PM -- ------ Cheap fabrics, like cheap shoes, are a false economy.

Annabelle Knit is made by Telio, a Canadian company that also makes Brazil Knit, a high quality poly/lycra ITY knit (very similar to Logantex's Foxy Lady). I love the Brazil Knit and hope that the Annabelle Knit is just as good. ------ The essence of life is statistical improbability on a colossal scale. Richard Dawkins

The quality seems excellent and the colors are clear, vibrant jewel tones. ------ The essence of life is statistical improbability on a colossal scale. Richard Dawkins
