[Stash] Ginger Linen

Cloth Type: 100% Linen
Yardage: 5 yards at 59" wide
Source: Fabric-Store.com
Description:A medium-light weight cloth with the brown quality of burlap with a slightly more golden tone.

Originally purchased for use in my Garb Quest.

This is a tricky color.  It's light enough in general tone to be very close to skin tone, and dull enough of a brown that it could very easily be just a very unflattering dress.  I've considered using it as a lining instead, perhaps to a black wool, to make a late 15th century German Housebook-style dress.  I'm not sure, however, that the Housebook style is suitable to my large bust.
