Changed my mind about using only natural fabrics for a summer dress design

I was set on using 100% linen for a breezy dress but a sample of a linen-polyester blend from a local supplier in Portland felt way better and held its shape after three washes. The pure linen puckered and wrinkled so much it looked messy, which totally changed my plan. Anyone have a go-to blend for summer pieces that still feels natural?

Try hemp-cotton blends for that natural feel.

Actually, hemp blends can feel pretty rough compared to pure cotton (sorry @butler.brian). Sometimes you just want the soft stuff.

My skin's too sensitive for that rough stuff, Brian's trying to turn me into a human loofah over here.
