Betsy Meadow is a stylised small floral design, created in 1933. It was designed by the mysterious designer D.S., who was behind many of the favourite classic Liberty prints of the era. Betsy has appeared on Classic Tana since 1982 and now comes with an added coloured ground.
Liberty Tana Lawn is unique: a fabric made from specially selected ultra-fine long-staple cotton, woven from 70 and 100 ply yarns, with exclusive and superior qualities that have elevated Tana to its iconic status. Once woven, Tana is subjected to a lengthy series of preparations, followed by a process of mercerization that swells the fibers of the cotton, enhancing handle and luster, and stabilizing the fabric finish. Mercerization also increases dye absorption in the rotary screen printing or the latest digital print technology, allowing this fine fabric to carry color and print magnificently.
