Royal Blue Wide Stripe Leno Weave Cotton Shirting

Leno Stripe Cotton Shirting Fabric

Our Leno Stripe cotton shirting is a refined take on the classic shirt stripe. Alternating bands of two fine solid stripes followed by a delicate leno weave stripe create subtle texture and visual interest. The leno weave technique twists threads around each other to form a tiny openwork effect—like a series of airy pinholes—that adds both breathability and charm.

Lightweight and slightly sheer, this fabric feels soft, delicate, and dainty against the skin. It has a crisp yet gentle drape, making it a perfect choice for airy blouses, breezy button-ups, and other warm-weather pieces. For dresses or skirts, we recommend adding a lining for extra coverage while still enjoying the fabric’s lightness and texture.
