Lightweight Cotton Lawn Fabric

Lightweight Cotton Lawn Fabric is a lightweight, silky-soft woven cotton with an elegant drape. Slightly translucent without being too sheer, it’s a warm-weather favorite for flowing tops, dresses, and refined accessories. The fine, smooth weave delivers crisp print detail and softens beautifully with each wash.
