I have a few sets of pajamas that are made of modal - and I don't like it. I prefer cotton or cotton/rayon blend.

I love it, but love it more in a tiny knit with cotton and some spandex.

No. Dislike it a lot. Something the way it drapes too closely over the body. Very revealing fabric. Don't mean see through. Every curve and outline exposed.

Me. My experience is it shows every figure flaw...yes, it's soft and comfortable, but not a flattering material. JME. (Just My Experience) with past purchases.

I like the feel of modal and it washes and dries well. Unfortunately, it hugs every curve. Very clingy.

I have maybe 3-4 blouses of modal. i wear cotten to sleep, I dont like how model shows my bra, I prefer model in prints for that reason.

if its in Model, i pass on it. Cotten is 'breathable".

I don't like the feel of it. I prefer cotton or rayon. For me, it's texture. Like mayonnaise. I cannot stand the texture of mayonnaise in my mouth. If it is in a salad or other things where I cannot feel the texture, it is okay but not for a salad dressing and I cannot stand salad dressings that are based on mayo.

So modal is fine for others and in small doses (I do have some) but I don't shop for it and try to avoid it, however, hard it is becoming (like polyester).

I'm not a fan of it either. I find its awfully hard to get the wrinkles out. True it is soft, but seems so artificial. I prefer cotton w/a touch of spandex for stretch.

I made the error or ordering a night gown in modal from Eileen West and wore it a few times and really disliked it. The fabric just doesn't breath...or at least for me.

I love the softness of model. I give it a little body with Magic Spray sizing.

As with most kinds of fabric, not all modals are created equal. I have a number of warm weather pieces made of modal. Some I like better than others. For the most part I kind it lightweight and cool.

Wrinkling doesn't bother me as I steam or iron almost everything I wear.

Raising my hand. If it's a small amount, fine, but too much and it actually has a very rubbery feeling to it. At least for me
