were available, women would snap them up. About 90% off all dresses are blends. And, of course, around the 5th washing, you have something that you can't even use as a household rag. Back in the 80s (raspy old voice) the coke-bottle fabric actually lasted 5 more washings, and some. But even then, i began to notice, cotton was better.
The thing about wearing long dresses is, you don't need to buy skin suffocating leggings, and have three closets of shoes. And, oh, at the risk of sounding Victorian, a cotton skip protects your dress from friction, perspiration. A cotton dress will last several years. And each year, the catalogs only offer a few - that's if they're in stock.
Having a few nice garments beats a closet full of recycled coke bottles that you can't recycle two months later when the thing is getting shabby. Natural fabrics make better economic sense. A closet full of duds that you don't really like - not after the 2nd or 3rd resting. Leads to confusion.
