Fairy Fabric

While linen is lovely, some think of cotton

 as the poor country cousin in the fabric world.

Before falling for that myth, consider

Swiss Fairy Batiste

Drawing of a house placed UNDER pink Swiss Fairy Batiste

and scanned. 

The fabric was actually dyed an

 azalea pink.

 This is the same fabric folded into 4 layers.

The pink offered by Peanut Butter N Jelly Kids is even less vivid.

I can imagine the fabric for Marie Antoinette's
scandalous dress being done in white Fairy Batiste

then

Swiss Batiste. 

Available in white, winter green, pink, blue and ecru.

Fair warning: it isn't cheap - but it is worth every cent. 

And they "pull a thread" before cutting, 

to make sure you get every bit you pay for.
