This week we celebrate all things cotton. . . easy to sew, dye, knit and launder, thereby making it the world's most popular fabric! Cool and comfortable, cotton is easily "the fabric of our lives."
From the Vintage Fashion Guild's Fabric Resource > Cotton:
“Cotton is a fiber obtained from the cotton plant, a bushy plant of the genus Gossypium. The cotton fiber grows from the seeds of the plant in the seed pods, called 'bolls.' The fiber, which is 90% cellulose, is naturally fine, soft, fluffy and absorbent. . . The history of cotton literally parallels the history of civilization; evidence of isolated civilizations growing cotton and creating fabric from its fiber dates its domestication to at least 4500 B.C.E. in both the Americas and South Asia."
Air out your cotton fabrics of all types in this parade, including but not limited to: voile, lawn, plisse, seersucker, stretch cottons, denim, chambray, gingham, batiste, duck, broadcloth and gauze.
