From Th@ory, this white stretch cotton sateen is a fabulous basic! The texture is quite smooth, it has a subtle sheen, and moderate stretch with great recovery. It's a pants/jacket weight, opaque with a cottony crisp drape, and it stands on its own as a great summery basic for tailored items, or as a blank canvas for dyeing, fabric-painting, embellishment, batik, etc! It has a wonderful hand and is beautiful quality. Test first if you wish to wash at home.
