Muslin


Muslin can be used as a cheap pattern maker before one uses expensive fabric. Marie Antoinette wore simple muslin dresses and my association with the material is sexualization through simplification. The material shrinks when painted and diffuses light nicely from its transparent quality.

Newer Genres: Linen




















Linen:
It's two or three times stronger than cotton but when ironed or creased holes and breaks can form in the fiber from wear and tends to wrinkle. Linen can hold up to 20% moisture without becoming damp and is quickly absorbent to remove perspiration from skin. Linen resists dirt and stains, doesn't produce lint and can be machine or hand washed, it is a work friendly textile but is relatively expensive.


The ring the curtain is hanging from is the type of ring I will use when hanging my linen curtain. for the space assignment.
