The White Choice
- The dainty stitching of Silk Trading’s embroidered silk organdy Clover creates a decorative, romantic mood (54"w, $43/yd.; SilkTrading.com).
- Wintertree II, a viscosepolyester- linen burnout sheer is a graphic update of an archival Jack Lenor Larsen design (59"w, through designers; Cowtan.com).
- DesignTex’s die-cut Ingeo, a nonwoven fabric that incorporates a polymer derived from cornstarch, is beautiful and biodegradable (63"w, $35/yd.; 516/767-2698).
- Imported from Italy, Magnolia Leaves, a viscosepolyester sheer in ivory from Calico Corners has baroque flair and a thrifty price tag (58"w, $26/yd.; CalicoCorners.com).
- To transform the bottom edge of this fabric from straight to scalloped, the laser-cut trevira Etrus panel comes with a perforated trim (130"w, $150; CarnegieFabrics.com).
