I've had mine from here
https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/maggiesfabfabrics although only white and black. I'm looking for ivory but can't find what I want.

Oh wow, I've just been having a quick look and Maggie has some off white tana lawn, I think that will do for me.

Yes the cotton lawn I've had I used as dress lining as I can't stand acetate. I've also used it for interlining a coat and still have a jacket to do. The Tana lawn I've ordered is to line lace to make a top and I've just ordered some of the embroidered white to make a top for the summer (I hope it isn't too see through). If you contact Maggie she will tell you what things are like, I've been getting stuff from her for a few years and never been disappointed.

I’ve had cotton lawn from Maggie and it was lovely, soft but not too soft if you see what I mean.

Order from Maggie arrived this lunchtime, the cotton lawn is the exact match for the lace that I need it for :)
