For example, boucles or tweeds that are brown and white (or black and white, etc) can "read" solid brown at a distance. Solid fabrics can often show everything (hair, dirt, general schmutz), so having that variation of color can be a real benefit up close, as it will hide all those things.</i></span> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-false-plain#post-1181898 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 22:32:13 +0000 Madlovemom 1181898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi there!<br /> Can someone please explain what "false plain" means? Angie has used it to describe a material but I don't really have an image in my mind of it. Thanks! </p>
