Ramie? Is this a natural fabric?

It feels like it, felt very like linen, but don't think I've ever come across it before.

Nice shirt/dress thing in Monsoon that I resisted today but have started thinking about since I got home...

Thanks CD, that is interesting. Doesn't sound like a long lasting fabric then. Wonder if that's enough info to put me off spending money on it?

I had a cotton ramie mix cardi once, it was lovely and soft. Lasted quite a year or two even with me wearing it non-stop (Wear'emoutWilf) I'd buy one again.
