Very easy,
Why not go for a lovely soft indian cotton?
I have seen some real ones made of the fine printed linnens, and considering
the linnen was very fine and soft and cotton like, why not go for it.
Could be lovely in both printed or plain collours.

Subject: [h-cost] fabric for robe a la francaise
Dear List
I am about to make a final (i.e. not in calico/muslin) robe a la francaise:
its primary purpose will be display for photographs and showing at wedding
fairs etc., to try and persuade people that period clothing is lovely etc
etc. Now I'm swithering about fabric - the two choices are a) expensive,
pretty and therefore out of my league, realistically or b) sort of
appropriate, synthetic and more obtainable.
Since I'll end up having to use a cheaper fabric this time around, does
anyone have recommendations on what is more appropriate? OK, I can't be
completely authentic but I'd rather avoid something that screams
'upholstery' and puts of anyone who knows anything about the period.
(Suppliers in the UK would be stupendous, but even links to pics of
semi-appropriate would be terribly useful and appreciated).
Many thanks!
Katherine
