Lawn cloth
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lawn cloth, or simply Lawn, is a term used in the textile trade for both a type of plain-weave gray cloth, and a type of starched crisp-finish given to a cloth product. The finish itself can be applied to several kinds of fabric, from print cloth to fine plain cloth.
Similar cloths are organdy and batiste.
Its uses are shirts, dresses, and skirts.
Invented in Europe in the late 19th century, cotton lawn has a very soft, crisp and crease resistant finish. The result is a garment with unparalleled comfort and breathability ideally suited for all climates. It remains today as one of the world's finest cottons.
