Caring For Mesh

Mesh is a colorful, glamorous, sheer synthetic fabric that often incorporates beads and/or sequins.  It has a moderately crisp drape that falls away from the body in wide cones.  Use alone or under or over a second fabric to make fitted, semi-fitted, or loose-fitting styles of blouses, dresses, costumes, and evening wear.  Drycleaning is strongly recommended.
