I look for it in loungewear, tees, and even my undies! It is light and drapey, not wrinkly. But, yeah, I think it would make for a kind of limp scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-we-think-of-modal-fabric-for-a-scarf#post-812335 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 01:43:35 +0000 K. Period. 812335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've bought lots of garments that were modal, but no scarves. Anymore, I try to avoid buying modal garments. They pill and look shabby quickly if you wash them, even if you hand wash and dry flat. However, it may work well for a rarely washed item like a scarf. I'd probably buy it, as you said, because it is Nordstrom and they will take it back if you are dissatisfied with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-we-think-of-modal-fabric-for-a-scarf#post-812065 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 21:58:29 +0000 Louise 812065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had on a 100% modal scarf today. Anne's right it doesn't have much oomph. Mine had a light crinkle manufactured into it and it does wrinkle more when I wear it but to me that's part of this particular scarf so doesn't bother me x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-we-think-of-modal-fabric-for-a-scarf#post-811982 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 20:50:53 +0000 Anonymous 811982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't imagine a modal scarf having much body or oomph when wearing it. I think it's fine if you're okay with the look. No harm in trying it with Nordie's free shipping and returns! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-we-think-of-modal-fabric-for-a-scarf#post-811980 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 20:47:31 +0000 fern 811980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I generally think very positively about modal - it will have great drape as a scarf.<br /> Plus, Yay, it's from Nordstrom, so it's worth trying. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-we-think-of-modal-fabric-for-a-scarf#post-811976 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 20:41:37 +0000 Janet 811976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had some modal pieces that I really liked -- soft and lightweight. I don't remember them wrinkling that much. I have some scarves that get wrinkly, but I usually just go with it and embrace the "crinkle" factor -- that or spray them lightly with water or Febreze and hang them for a few minutes before wearing, so the wrinkles fall out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-we-think-of-modal-fabric-for-a-scarf#post-811974 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 20:38:20 +0000 Sheila 811974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am lusting after a scarf from Nordstrom made out of "modal". I think this is a fairly thin fabric that wrinkles a lot.</p> <p>Anybody have one and able to tell me how it holds up?</p> <p>YAY= buy it, it's from Nordstrom and they will take it back if you're not satisfied<br /> NAY=don't waste your time and energy, this fabric is a loser </p>
