~*~Hello and Welcome to the Textile Trunk!~*~
~This charming textile is an antique French linen night shirt dating from circa 1900. ~ A BEAUTIFUL textile with a hand stitched MH monogram in the front breast. This textile is made of a heavy, densely woven linen and cotton mix with lovely natural gray striations in the tone!!! Lovely dark natural hemp tone! The fabric is heavy, but still would be nice for wearing since the surface texture is softly worn, and this will continue to soften with more washing. Always tumble dry! ~*~ There is a drawstring at the neck and half-sleeves. ~ A gorgeous textile! ~*~ I like to simply hang these textiles on the back of the bathroom/bedroom door for decorative effect, however they are also lovely for wearing..day and night! ~*~ They are lovely for period costumes also! ~*~ The fabric is also beautiful, so this could be deconstructed for use of the striated fabric in other projects!
