Question:

is poly cotton lighter than pure cotton?

I'm trying to buy some fabric online but I'm not sure what to go forI'm making a cosplay outfit that I'll be wearing in the summer and I want to go with something light, but not flimsy with any form of transparencyI was going to go for poly cotton but if pure cotton is more like what I need then I'd obviously want to go for that instead.If you have any other fabric suggestions I'd like to hear them, otherwise I'd just like to know what fabric would be most suitable.

Answer:

By cotton and poly-cotton, you're talking about fibers, not fabricsCotton, for instance, is a fiber and can be made into many fabrics, including broadcloth, twill, denim, shirting, corduroy, velvet, velveteen, plisse, seersucker, pincord, jersey, interlock and thousands moreThe blend of fibers makes no difference to opacity or weightthat's determined by the size of yarns used, by the weave or knit pattern, by the density of the weave or knit, etcEach of these fabrics above will hang a little differently, so what fabric is suitable for a garment rather depends on how the garment is supposed to hang (this is one of the most difficult things to learn in sewing)If you can point out the garments you want to make, we can suggest some possibilities.
