The perfect use would be caps, neck-handkerchiefs, engegantes and
perhaps a dressy apron. White embroidery would look nice on it.
Also ruffles on caps or the sleeves & necklines of shifts were
sometimes made of a finer fabric than the rest of the garment.
Since the hems of ruffles are seen, they should be hand-stitched. I
don't think anyone has seen the selvedge edge of a fabric used for a
ruffle edge.
