This is the new shirting fabric I bought for my 1895 shirtwaist. It also conveniently has stripes at the exact right spaces for the tucks on the pattern I drafted before I had the fabric. So it really is meant to be! Every second white stripe will be the top of the tuck so that it will look like alternating even width stripes of green and white at the shoulders.
It doesn't look very exciting, but I really like the soft colours. And there is a bit of texture and more subtle colours than appear from far away. The white stripe is satiny and raised and there are peach stripes outside the blue ones.
Because it was so cheap ($3.20/m), I'm thinking of going back and getting more, but I don't know what I'd use it for and thus don't know how much to buy. Do you envision this fabric as suitable for any particular time period? 1860s? 1900s? Just modern stuff?
