Fashion designers have declared that there could not be any other material to exhibit than linen. The greatest problem with linen is that it became out of fashion as a wearing fabric; people almost forgot it without knowing its qualities. In another way, the word linen was only limited to make bedclothes or for the purpose of furnishing.

Linen is the fibre of flax plant. It has the natural wax content of the flax plant. There is a long-lasting shine in dresses which are made from linen. Though linen is difficult to iron but it compares well with cotton. Linen shirts can be hand-washed, without causing any harm to the fibre. It is ideal for those areas where there is excess of hot climatic conditions. It is also ideal for making summer garments.

For summer, there is nothing to match the cool, icy sensation of linen, when it comes into contact with skin. When you wear linen suits or dresses, the first impression is that of casualness. But, if a formal occasion is coming up, same linen dress can be worn without any hesitation. Linen is a user-friendly fabric, mainly due to its moisture absorbing ability; it is soft and flexible by nature.

Some fashion designers opine that, unlike other fibre materials, the beauty of linen lies in its unique quality to crush. The outcome of crushes rather gives an exclusive look to linen, even when worn formally. Linen wrinkles easily, so avoid styling concepts that have creases firmly pressed into them. The cloth mills are making linen from colours ranging from creamy white to light brown; dying linen is easy and does not fade after washing. Presently, trousers, dresses, shirts are being made by linen. Interesting cuts, well-defined edges, frills, hand-painting and machine work can further highlight the look of the fabric.

The variety and uses of linen have gone broader in fashion industry. It has become daily-wear fabric; it has come a long way with cotton-mix, poly-mix and laycra blend. Linen is, no doubt, ruling the market. Another distinct quality of linen is that dresses made out of it blend very well with accessories of other materials. The different types of linen available in the market further broaden the chances of experimentation.

Fashion designers usually prefer Egyptian, Japanese and the wrinkle-free poly- mixed Egyptian linen. Irish linen is prized for its fine white colour as it is the colour of summer. Scottish linen is lighter in colour than Irish linen, but it is an extraordinary summer choice. French linen is differentiated by fine designs, ranks high on the summer calendars. All mentioned types of linen are ideal for uppers and trousers as well.

Linen is still not the favourite fabric of every designer when it comes to detailing, but even then it is in fashion; it is not lagging behind. Long skirts, coats and dresses with delicate embroidery and thread work look best on linen. Heavy embroidery and beadwork take away natural charm of linen.

When it comes to colours, beige and white are the best choices for linen dresses. Orange, tangerine and fuchsia are also used by fashion experts to make a personalized statement. Another aspect of this fabric is that it has somehow still maintained itself as a symbol of style, elegance and comfort. If you want to exhibit trendy casuals, exclusive party wears or cultural wears, linen ensures your individuality.

Thread count is defined as the number of horizontal and vertical threads in one square inch of fabric. The higher the number of threads per square inch of fabric the better since this will make for a softer and smoother finished product.

In addition, high thread count sheets are also more durable than low thread count sheets. These can last up to twenty years compared to low thread count sheets that easily wear and tire with everyday use and washing.
