Ladies cotton top HELP please with name of cotton ?
Hi there, I should know it but I can't remember !  This cotton has bumpy bits in it as a pattern - like broderie anglaise has holes that are sewn around - this has bumps !



Thanks so much .. Lee

Oh Dear! I sold a vintage nightie made from this fabric a few weeks ago & described it as having "figural pom pom like polka dots within the fabric weave" I wonder what my buyer made of that?! They left great ratings, so must have agreed with my item description. LOL! Cheers, TTLG

Use to call it Swiss Hail Spot (30 years ago).
