A standard reference sourceBy cchildreBest place to find examples of fabrics; plus definitions of historical types of fabrics that were common in the past; but no longer part of everyday knowledge. Things like calimanco and tabby will no longer be a mystery with this book at hand.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
