the labeling has to do with non-fire retardant status. That said, i made clothes for my girls out of all cotton fabric all the time. still make sun dresses etc out of the nice prints. a way to decrease the wrinkling is to use "easy knit" interfacing and underlay the entire outfit. When you go to cut out the outfit, lay the easy knit under the fashion fabric and cut as one unit, then fuse all the pieces together, then start sewing. I don't mind ironing but this method was taught by Claire Schaeffer of Silhouette Patterns for her things made with cotton or linen.
