Frequently Asked Questions
Is this fabric sheer, or will I need a lining for clothing?
This is a lightweight dressmaking cotton. While it offers good opacity for blouses, tops, and layered skirts, lighter background colorways may require a slip or lining for structured, single-layer dresses.
How much shrinkage should I expect after washing?
As a 100% natural cotton material, a minor shrinkage of about 3% to 5% can occur during the first wash. We strongly recommend pre-washing your yardage before cutting out your apparel patterns.
What is the best way to care for garments made from this fabric?
To preserve the fine fibers and rich botanical prints, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash with mild detergent. Hang or line dry in the shade to prevent sun fading, and use a warm iron setting.
Will my order arrive as separate pieces if I buy multiple yards?
No. All yardage purchases are measured and cut fresh from the live bolt as a single, continuous piece of fabric to ensure you have unbroken material for your sewing patterns.
