This is their normal 'sale' and 5.3 ounce while good for outwear would not be the best choice for Smocks and Shirts and aprons or coifs for that matter.  You could use it for lining bodices and the like. If you want lighter fabric try their 3.5 handkerchief, IMHO it is very hard, even washed it does not become as soft as my Irish Linen from the old Denver Fabrics.  Sigh I miss them so much.
