Characteristics of cotton

Cotton is a cellulose-based fiber that grows in a boll, or protective capsule, around the seeds of the mature cotton plant.
Thanks to its hypoallergenic, antibacterial and breathable qualities, cotton gives to your skin a pleasant feeling of freshness and wellbeing. It is the perfect fabric for skirts, dresses, trousers, jackets and dust coats.
It can be soft or crisp, elegant or casual, warm or cool. It is usually easier to sew than other fabrics, such as silk.
