Foulard
foo-lard', a thin, soft, printed dress silk, plain woven, or twilled and finished with considerable luster. It is used for summer gowns. There is variety of color design, but white on a blue ground is the most common style of coloring.
Foulard is popular at intervals, and again it is out of fashion for years at a time. Foulard was imported originally from India, but is now made in this country. Cotton foulard is a close imitation in design, coloring, and finish of this silk.
