What is lightweight cotton fabric?
It is cotton cloth with a relatively low mass and an easy hand for shirts, dresses or soft layers — verified by construction and published weight, not by the word cotton alone.
Is lightweight cotton always sheer?
No. Fine dense poplins can stay relatively covered, while open voiles may need lining. Always check the colourway against light.
What GSM is lightweight for cotton?
There is no single universal cutoff. Compare published GSM within similar constructions and against a reference garment cloth for your programme.
