There is a sale on 52 inch wide gray stretch linen-rayon blend that looks arty and interesting to me. You would pre-wash and dry it to shrink it, then, carve it into something interesting such as a skirt. The look would be brut, paper-baggish, artful Amish, Soho, or just plain a nice linen garment. I don't think it needs to be lined. It's an 8 oz fabric. The stretch is intriguing. You would gather it slightly, here and there for textural interest. Think sculpture.

There's also a sale on zippers:

I haven't bought either of these things.

OK. Yes, dry cleaning might keep it smooth longer.
But it's expensive.
Once you have machine washed and dried a fabric, any garment you make out of it can take the same treatment; which is much easier and cheaper.
But you do have a point, for those who can afford it.
This is already a nubby fabric. Perhaps it could take washing.
