That was a rhetorical question . . . but dotted Swiss is a perfectly
good fabric that can be used for many things and if I can manage to dye
it in some earhtones I'm going to sew them!

This type of fabric is primarily used today for little girl's outfits, as well
as for babies. I guess that is why there is a primarily pastel palette
currently available.

I somehow got the impression that pin-dotted fabric is in style so it would be easy to find, but I think I was wrong about that. I went to the dentist in Berkeley on Wednesday and consoled myself by going to three fabric stores over there (Poppy, Stonemountain, and Discount Fabrics), and I wasn't seeing much in the way of pin dots.
As for the dotted Swiss, I asked Baltazor how well their $15/yard 100% cotton batiste white Swiss would dye. (Why is it manufacturers are so locked into the white/blue/pink/pale yellow colors for dotted Swiss?) They said they didn't know whether the fabric would stand up to machine dyeing, but offered to send me half a yard free of charge to test.
