Looking for the giant plaid motifs I see in RTW (Moderated by Deepika, Sharon1952)
Posted on: 2/23/18 3:29 PM ET
Hi, any eagle-eyed online fabric shoppers up for a challenge?
I've seen in RTW all these really large-format plaids - where each motif is easily 6-10 inches square, often with interesting color combinations or uneven/asymmetrical weaves.
Ann Taylor coat
PopJulia big shirt
DressHead dress
Anyone seen anything out there like that in woven fabric of any material?

That dresshead dress is copying Burberry who has been showing designs exactly like you are talking about- large scale /asymmetrical plaids. I just bought some Burberry Nova check cotton but it is on a more traditional size scale. I just love the large scale Burberry tops.
Looks like Mood once had one like that ( Burberry) in cashmere coating but sold out. They now have some other coating large scale 8 inch by 11inch repeat) in cadmium green and navy.
Fabric.com has a few pricey Ralph Lauren coatings with this. Very pretty.

Yes, I saw those - I didn't see any large-scale ones though.

EOS has a few large scale plaids.
I’ve got my eye on one for pants.

Silk Plaid Fabric.com has some large scale silk plaids. They are not inexpensive, but fit the bill.

Fabric Mart has been trying to get rid of some large plaid silks for a while. They may be gone by now but it is worth a look.

Thanks everyone - I don't really see what I am looking for. That Emma One Sock black and blue windowpane is nice and I may get it.
