I thought I was done with linen for this year until I saw these amazing stretch linens from Tahari! They are just wonderful and very fashion-forward. The stretch goes LENGTHWISE, so you need to lay your pattern from selvedge to selvedge, making the stripes run lengthwise on your garment. The stretch is quite springy, with perfect recovery. This one has a natural background with thin collections of midnight blue stripes. Just beautiful!! Perfect for form-fitting blouses or shirts, lightweight suiting, slacks, skirt, sheath dress, etc. Dry cleaning recommended.
