Print / Pattern Characteristics
The motif is mini anpan — small bread bun shapes repeated across the fabric.
Because it is “mini,” the scale is smaller / more subtle compared to bolder anpan prints

Hand / Drape: Soft, lightweight, breathable; becomes softer after washing (a trait of double gauze)

Uses & Applications

This kind of fabric is ideal for:

Apparel: lightweight tops, dresses, blouses, tunics

Children’s / baby items: dresses, rompers, shirts, swaddles, bibs

Accessories: scarves, wraps

Light textile crafts: handkerchiefs, furoshiki wraps, soft decorative items

Interior / décor accents (in less stress areas): lightweight curtains, decorative cloths

Double gauze is especially nice for garments that benefit from softness and breathability, rather than structure.

Care, Handling & Notes

Prewash: Important, as cotton and gauze fabrics often shrink. Pre-washing helps avoid surprises.

Washing: Gentle cycle / cold water recommended

Drying: Line dry or gentle tumble (low) if needed — avoid high heat to preserve fabric integrity and minimize distortion

Pressing: Iron gently; use steam; pressing while damp helps

Opacity: Double gauze is somewhat sheer in some lights; for garments you may want to consider lining or layering in sensitive areas
