My grandmother’s wedding gown was made of this stuff and so was the fancy undergarment with hand-made lace that we inherited from dh’s great-grandmother’s trousseau and the curtains my mom favored for privacy that she called ‘sheers’. I just never knew before today that this fabric was called BATISTE. So yay for SCRABBLE … I learned a new word and got 76 points for the BINGO.
