What is fabric cambric?

Cambric fabric is a lightweight, plain-woven cotton fabric originally from the region of Cambrai, France. It is made using fine, high-quality cotton and is known for its softness, durability, and smooth texture. Cambric fabric is typically used for making shirts, dresses, skirts, and other lightweight clothing items. It is also used in the production of bed linens, curtains, and other household textiles. Cambric fabric may come in white or dyed colors and is often used as an alternative fabric for lining heavy fabrics such as wool.
