Not every pair needs to be an heirloom - some just need to work. Cotton, chosen because it behaves: it drapes cleanly and does not cling.

It moves between everyday wear and occasions without needing much thought. Colour on your screen will not be an exact match for the fabric in your hand - dye lots and monitors both vary.

Follow the care label first. As a general rule, silk, zari and heavy embroidery should be dry-cleaned; cotton and rayon can usually be hand-washed cold and dried in shade.
