looking for an old type fabric

Seersucker is different from plisse. Seersucker is woven puckers;
plisse is an embossed fabric, and these days stays permanent if it has
synthetic fibers in it. Seersucker is also a bit heavier.

The fabric I remember with tiny roses was dimity, but dimity doesn't
have puckers--it has solid woven stripes next to sheer stripes, with
the tiny roses printed.

yes, that's what I thought too. Seersucker that I've found is more
of a bottom or suit weight. light enough for summer, but still to
heavy for a nightgown. still, the fabric I'm thinking of did have the
woven puckers in it cause the bubbled fabric stayed bubbled through
the wash for many months but would eventually become almost even
toward the end of it's life. LOL

Maybe it was a tissue weight seersucker or maybe plisse was made
differently back then?
I appreciate all the links. Unfortunately the ones I've seen so far
show plisse made of 65 percent poly. NOT nice for nightgowns. I
forget all about glistening in that much poly and go straight to
SWEAT!!! LOL Kitty

Just did a search for Plisse Cotton and got this link which looks like
what I was talking about except for this is 50/50

Is this plisse? that's what she's calling it. if it's not, what
would you call it? thanks, kitty
