over 100+ years ago, muslin was the top of the line of fabric, or so I've heard...tightly woven and used in wedding dresses, etc.
Absolutely true...watch the program with vintage clothing and all are muslin, The Sewing Room with ????, antique stores that have old clothing, most are made of muslin. Amish use it a lot...but having to find good quality now, like in all cotton fabric that is the challenge. I like Roc-lan too. I will not hesitate to use the good quality on my tops, lesser quality is good for backs of tablerunners, wall hangings and the like.
