My cotton-poly shift has me rethinking strict fabric choices
I just finished a Regency shift using a cotton-polyester blend instead of the usual linen. A lot of folks in the group insist pure linen is the only way for accuracy, but this mix kept its form after washes and felt tougher. Wearing it to a local meet-up, it looked right and handled the day better than my old linen ones. Maybe we put too much stock in exact materials when how it works matters more.

My old linen dress definitely didn't survive that picnic.

Ugh, that's the worst feeling.

Oh no, my friend had a dog jump on her in a muddy park last month! Total dress trauma.
