Great value replica
I purchased this fabric to make a reproduction 18th-century men's banyan. This fabric is a great value for the cost. The cotton is very nice with a fine, even weave, and the weight is similar to a decent-quality cotton bedsheet (closer to a medium weight). After searching for a long time for the perfect hand block printed cotton with an appropriate 18th century design and coming up emptyhanded, I decided to give this digitally printed fabric a try. It is based on an original document so the colors and design are correct. However, the digital printing process leaves the design a little fuzzy, not pixelated, but slightly blurry-- this is only apparent up close and not noticeable from 5+ feet away. That's the only reason I didn't give this fabric a 5 star rating. If you're looking for a near-perfect copy of an 18th century printed Indian cotton, this isn't quite it. But you're also probably not going to find something better in this price range. Overall, this fabric is a great value and I would recommend it for historical costuming uses.

Amazing reproduction chintz!!
I *LOVE* this fabric!! It is the most beautiful cotton chintz reproduction fabric. I made a 1790's open robe from this. The gown was mostly machine sewn with hand sewn hem and finishing touches. It sewed up so nice both ways! I plan on ordering this again soon to make a late 18th century jacket :)
