Underrobe Fabric?
I'm getting ready to start work on my underrobes and am curious about the fabric. All the CRL says is "cloth". Does this mean that a lighter-than-velvet fabric like cotton or linen is approvable? Summers in Maryland are brutal humid to be wearing that much heavy material.

You are looking for a heavier weighted fabric such as Gaberdine. A lightweight cotton will not hang properly.wordweaver21 wrote:I'm getting ready to start work on my underrobes and am curious about the fabric. All the CRL says is "cloth".

What do you guys make of the color? I was looking at so many, I started losing perspective. The red velvet is an approximation for comparison, probably not what I will actually buy.
