Cotton
The lining of this fabric is ideal for any garment, since one of its characteristics is how versatile it is, just as, because it is a natural fiber, it will always be breathable and comfortable for the skin.
Silk
This lining contains both natural and artificial fibers, making it a soft, light, shiny, unsightly and elegant fabric.
Polyester
