rowangolightlyAnother one won over to the wonders of linen! And I quote Bruce:
"I didn't really notice it until I put the cotton one on (after having worn a linen shirt the day before.) It was like, 'where'd the air go?'"
Yep, linen really is that much cooler on a hot day than a cotton or cotton/poly blend shirt.

Date: 2006-07-07 06:05 pm (UTC)If you wash linen in a 1/2 teaspoon of Dawn dishwashing liquid, it takes the oil out (Dawn cuts grease!) and make it a soft fabric that wrinkles a whole lot less.
I'd suggest if you could find a seamstress down there who could make you suits, that you might get both a savings and exactly what you want in clothing; did you ever consider that?

Date: 2006-07-07 09:48 pm (UTC)Reminds me... I really do need to remember to make and wash the heck out of pair of *linen* bloomers before the end of next month. The cotton was getting a bit annoying some days last year, and I *think* I remember buying a decent weight for that last year when I mistakenly thought I'd have time to sew.
Need to remember to be *extra* careful of holes during rehearsal days this year...

Date: 2006-07-11 12:58 am (UTC)But I *know* I bought white last year, and pretty sure it was more than just for a new chemise (old one isn't worn out, but it's a good project for wet days at faire, and I'll need it eventually). I have to figure out which length is for apron, which for chemise, and which for the bloomers that I *think* I ordered some for (in with one of the other two).

My costumer sister loves that place, and took me there the last time we were both in Denver at the same time (a couple of years back). That was a dream shopping trip, let me tell you.
