A few suggestions for fabric from Dharma Trading Company.

- From the website:
- Generally speaking, a PFD item:
- Has had no optic whiteners added and is off-white in color.
- Is sewn with cotton thread (so the stitching dyes the same color).
- Is usually cut oversize because it is understood that the garment is going to be dyed and will shrink.
- Silk. Option to purchase with hand-rolled-hems (this means the edges of the silk are not rough cut (not frayed, have a finished edge).
