Get yourself a fabric store that will light your fabric on fire for you

No but legit I asked what the fiber content of something was and the guy didn’t know so he cut a chunk off and lit it on fire and felt the ashes and was like. Yeah this is mostly cotton with a lil bit of silk. And that was the moment I knew. This is it. This is the fabric store for me. Also that guy is marriage material. Not for me but damn some person is gonna be so happy with him.

Ok but this is actually one of the easiest ways to tell what something is made of! I did a textiles degree and one day as part of a class we all went outside with a pile of scrap fabric and set fire to the little pieces and recorded how they burned. We were given a chart that looked something like this to tell what each fabric was (it gets a little tricky is it’s a mix of fabrics though). Why did we do this? There is very little regulation in the textiles industry so a lot of materials are mislabelled as something they aren’t and sold for more than they should be, also sometimes people buy fabric second hand or discounted which doesn’t have any label at all. If you have a fabric you are having doubts about, cut a tiny piece off and do the burn test and you should know pretty fast what you are dealing with. Anyways your fabric store should be lighting things on fire because this means that they are actually checking what the fabrics are and aren’t trying to pass cheap stuff off as more expensive than it is.

Ooh! I knew it was a standard test but I hadn’t seen a chart as detailed as this thank you!

There’s a full size PDF of the chart here, from dresspatternmaking.com.

these girls are the only ones who get it they are the only TRUE influencers... no 1 else matches up

[shopcat]

their clothes are always insanely nice and well put together sometimes they even match like here their makeup is always so cute they're always making cute little drinks directly in the mcdonald's dining area and everyone is always SO MAD at them in the comments but they're literally just sitting there quietly and being #REAL. you never know that the girl making the drink is going to pull out next she just brings the entire fridge and glasses from home. open liquor not even hiding it. not one facial expression is ever pulled. they're some of the last cool people on earth i think.
