Cotton Gauze White, Fabric by the Yard

This fabric is to be used for undergarments, a chemise/shift for a Renaissance costume. The weight and body of the fabric is just right. It's not linen, but it is going to work up beautifully. The timely delivery was even better! Thank you!

This was the basis for my wedding dress. In hind sight, I needed more than I originally ordered, but that was my own fault. To the other reviewers complaining that this was thin or see through: well, yes, this is gauze. It is not suitable as a single layer, and if you're going to use it for clothing, you need multiple layers or gathers in select places. It has a lovely drape, and washed up quite nicely. It didn't ravel nearly as much as I expected, so I'm very pleased with this purchase. That being said, if you don't really know which material is which, go to an in-person shopping location. This is not suitable for every project.

The color is just as I expected, and the fabric will be cool on hot days. The dark color will minimize the see-through aspect of such this lightweight fabric.I anticipated shrinkage - it's characteristic of gauze - so I washed the fabric before using it. According to before and after measurements, it shrank 15%; allow for that in your purchase.

I wanted to quilt with this fabric but, although it is cotton, it's a shear gauze and unsuitable for my purpose.

I made a slip to go under thin fabric dresses. Worked very well. Good fabric for the purpose for which I bought it.

Not really soft. Scratchy. I’m returning it because I didn’t think it’d be good for mask making.

a little thinner and stiffer than i'd expected, based on other non-high end cotton gauze i've bought. we'll see how it washes up and if it fluffs and softens at all. Might be easier to sew when a bit stiffer, so could be seen as a plus. Liked the density of the thread count, not as trendy as some other gauzes.

In my line of work, I need the best materials that I can buy. This is one of them.
