Indian muslin
Muslin is the name for a very large group of plain-weave fabrics originally made of
cotton. Most
muslin used for purposes other than sheets is unbleached, which means that bits of trash, usually appearing as brown flecks, add color to the fabric. Occasionally, unbleached
muslin becomes popular in fashion, even for wedding gowns. Indian
muslin is a very fine
muslin from India, often printed with gold and silver and is an expensive luxury fabric. See
