Orange 423 presents itself as a warm, saturated shade that leans neither reddish nor yellow – a clear, sunny orange that pairs well with other solid colours from the Vanessa range.
The hand feel is soft and pleasant against the skin, typical for a medium-weight jersey with an elastane content. At 220 g/m² the fabric drapes smoothly without becoming see-through, and it holds its shape even in fitted patterns.
With an elastane share of 5%, the jersey stretches in both directions and returns to its original shape after use. This makes it comfortable to wear and easy to sew, without the fabric distorting after washing.
Since the colour code 423 is also used for the French terry and brushed sweat fabrics in the same range, this orange shade can be matched exactly across different fabric types.
What Vanessa Orange is suitable for
- Suitable for shirts and tops, as the medium-weight jersey at 220 g/m² feels comfortable against the skin.
- Works well for dresses, since the fabric is opaque enough not to become see-through.
- Good for bodysuits and children's clothing, as the jersey is soft enough for sensitive skin.
- Usable for fitted leggings, since the 5% elastane content provides the necessary stretch.
