Batiste Fabric is a fine textile composed of a balanced plain weave which typically forms a basic criss-cross pattern. This fabric originated in 1300’s by weaver John-Baptiste Cambray. During this time, it was mainly used for handkerchiefs. Nowadays, Batiste is typically used for blouses, lingerie, and in high-quality clothing as a lining. The abundance of Batiste we offer here at Mood is of the quilting cotton variety and comes in various colors and patterns.
