Light as a summer breeze and soft as your favourite cotton shirt, this striped cotton shirting is everything we love in a warm-weather fabric. Woven from fine yarn-dyed BCI cotton and OEKO-TEX® Standard 100–certified, it features a midsize classic stripe and a subtle texture that adds just the right amount of depth. What makes it extra special? The softened finish, which gives it an irresistible handfeel—cool, breathable, and buttery-soft against the skin. With its gentle drape and airy weight, it’s perfect for polished button-ups, dresses, laid-back sets, and dreamy summer pajamas. Almost fully opaque, it may need a lining for full opacity depending on your project.
This fabric was woven using BCI (Better Cotton Initiative) certified cotton which is produced by farmers who minimize pesticide use and other harmful farming practices, use water efficiently, care for the health of the soil, conserve natural habitats and provide good working conditions and fair pay. The finished fabric is Oeko-Tek 100 certified, ensuring it is free of harmful chemicals, dyes and finishes, and the mill where it is produced follows stringent environmental and water management practices.

Wash
Always pretreat fabric before sewing to remove chemical sizing from the manufacturing process. Pre-washing also gives you a better sense of the true drape and handfeel of a fabric. We recommend washing and drying fabric in the same way you intend to wash your finished garment. Be sure to separate brights and colours, as some dyes and prints may run the first few times you wash them.
Long-Term Care
It’s important to wash and dry cotton to remove any potential shrinkage down the road. Machine wash in warm water and tumble dry on medium or hot. More delicate cottons like voile, double gauze or embroidered cottons should be washed by hand or on the delicate cycle.
Fabric Tips
Use a hot iron when pressing.

I have come to learn that fabric descriptions which read "not fully opaque" or "may need a lining" are actually a warning that a 75 GSM Bemberg lining is actually mandatory. I was pleased with the appearance and soft feel of this softened striped shirting. However, I saw as soon as I opened the package that even a Bemberg lining would leave the fabric too see-through to use for a dress bodice or skirt. Fortunately, I found a very dense 135 GSM viscose lining that makes an opaque combination. I would love if this design were available in a weave of 190 GSM or more.
I made a classic button down shirt with long sleeves. Fabric was very easy to work with. Shirt sewed up beautifully. Always happy with Core Fabrics!
