Lawn is a thin, relatively sheer, high thread count cotton fabric that resembles fine linen.

It’s often used for handkerchiefs and blouses because of its crispness. However, it’s also the perfect fabric for a lightweight summer maxi dress.

Cotton lawn fabrics can be maintained in a home laundry.

Because of the tight construction and linen-like effect, cotton lawn fabrics may need regular ironing on a high temp cotton setting with steam to maintain the crisp appearance they’re known for.

Cotton lawn fabrics are easy to clean in a home laundry. Refer to your garments care label, but a gentle wash and air dry followed by an ironing should be the typical maintenance.
