Fabrics are either natural or man-made. There is a third group of fabric blends that, properly manufactured, can combine the rich look and comfort of the natural fiber with the easy-care properties of the man-made.
When wool is blended with polyester the color and the texture of the wool overpowers the polyester to give the cloth a rich look and feel; yet the polyester content prevents excessive wrinkling. Best blends have higher natural fiber content - say 55% natural with 45 man-made.
Natural fabrics absorb moisture and last longer. One good natural fiber choice for spring and summer is gauze. Sassy Lady carries a full line of Oh My Gauze which is a wonderful item. The fiber allows air to flow through the garment, which has a cooling effect in hot weather. All OMG is wash and wear.
So check out the fabric content when you are clothes shopping. It is important for the long-term wear of your garment.
