Polka-dotted prints are back in fashion, if you believe the NY Times, but pindots, and dotted swiss (which usually is associated with femininity and daintiness) is not. > 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?) Because it's associated with the sweetness and light part of the feminine stereotype, and in general has been worn more by little girls than by women for as long as I've been alive. :-) -- Cathy Raymond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "You've got to have the proper amount of disrespect for what you do." -- George Mabry _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
