AQUARELLE is the French term for watercolor painting, defined by pigments diluted in water and applied in translucent, light-filled layers. It evokes a tradition of delicacy and fluidity, where color seems to breathe across the surface with effortless grace. By extension, aquarelle also describes anything softly blended and luminous—imbued with a diaphanous, almost ethereal wash of color.Like an aquarelle wash, this sheer, pale, blue-gray batiste offers its color with a whispering translucence, its surface appearing to hold light the way water holds sky…Batiste, also known as voile, is super soft to the touch, yet is very breathable. Perfect as a lining! Fiber content: 60% cotton / 40% silk.
