Looking for a close match

I’m trying to find a fabric that comes as close to matching lighter fabric shown in the photo. I’ve looked everywhere for something that comes close to it without much luck. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi Jesse,

    Matching fabric via the internet just doesn’t work, sorry. Every computer is calibrated differently for color so what I see on my computer monitor and what the actual fabric color is may be shades apart.

    Also important is what you want to do with the close match. Upholstery, dress, coat, nightie? Please let me know so we can help you.

    Thanks!

    Hi Jesse,

    I have seen this fabric before, unfortunately I really can’t remember where. I believe it is a rough spun course muslin with a twill weave but it’s kind of difficult to determine. Can I ask, is it flexible? If it is what I think it is, your best bet for matching it is going to be upholstery shops and riffling through their swatch books. Look at late 70’s styles and early 80’s. Wish I had a better direction for you.
