Fabric ID help needed.....

[gaildavid]

I always seem to come with a couple of questions.

I will be listing this dress on Thursday and I am having trouble with the fabric.

The selvage reads "Everfast Fabrics" but not fiber content. It has the feel of a heavy canvas.....but lighter than upholstery fabric.

Any ideas? And does it look 60's/70's to you? It features two slits...one on the left front and one on the right back. It appears to be handmade, has a black cotton lining and a back metal zipper.

Thanks again....Gail

Late 60s, I'd say. And I've seen that fabric im a rayon/cotton blend. Does it seem wrinkle-resistant?

Thanks for the date, Lizzie. ...It does seem pretty wrinkle resistant but I did have to steam it in a few places.........Thanks.

My grandmother called this fabric "Hopsacking."
