The muslin fabric used in Lebenskleidung is, of course, only available in the finest organic quality. But that's not all that makes it special. Its crinkled look, which makes it so irresistible, is achieved through a unique construction method. Two layers are woven together at specific points – a technique known as double gauze. The weave is a plain weave.
