It's the name prestige, to be sure, but their cottons feel just like silk and are perfect for heirloom sewing (e.g., smocking girls' dresses) and grown-up garment sewing of blouses. Most of the line is not suitable for quilting, as said earlier.

I had a huge inventory of synthetic blouses because I loved the light weight and silk feel ... but then menopause hit and these were impossible to wear in the office during my thermostat readjustment period. I splurged for the fabric (I worked in a DC law firm at the time) and found I looked the part required by my boss's billing hour rate but could still breathe and stay cool(er).

I used to travel to London a lot, and I bought a lot of Liberty fabric to use in quilts and 'wearable art.' The regular weight cotton is wonderful for quilts, but it doesn't come in all the beautiful prints that you think of as 'Liberty prints.' The lawn, which is what Liberty is known for, is very light weight. I used both, but the lawn doesn't hold up very well - it starts to wear out much sooner than regular cotton. And, yes, it's pretty expensive!

This fabric line has always been pricey.
