In the United States, these test-models are themselves sometimes referred to as "muslins,” the process is called "making a muslin," and "muslin" has become the generic term for any test- or fitting garment, regardless of the fabric it is made from. In Britain and Australia, the term for a test- or fitting garment used to be [42] Toile. [43] The word “toile,” from an Old French word for “cloth,” entered the English language around the 12th century. (Today, toile simply refers to any sheer fabric, which may be made, for example, from linen or cotton.)

It is expecting to launch the muslin saree in the market in the next two years. [49] See also [ edit ] Pool, J. (1976). "Muslin gauze in intracranial vascular surgery. Technical note".

and varieties of mulmul ( Mulboos khas, Jhuna, Sarkar ali, Sarbati, Tarindam) [33] were among the most delicate cotton muslins produced in the Indian subcontinent. [34] [35] [36] Muslin of uncommonly delicate handspun yarn was handwoven in the Bengal region of South Asia and imported into Europe for much of the 17th and early 18th centuries. [3] [6] [7] [8] Islam, Khademul (May–June 2016). "Our Story of Dhaka Muslin". Aramco World. Vol.67, no.3. pp.26–32. OCLC 895830331. Muslins were originally made of cotton only. These were very thin, transparent, delicate and feather light breathable fabrics. There could be 1000–1800 yarns in warp and weigh 3.8oz (110g) for 1yd ×10yd (0.91m ×9.14m). Some varieties of muslin were so thin that they could even pass through the aperture of a lady finger-ring. [17] [18] [19] Transparency [ edit ] During the period of Company rule, the East India Company imported British-produced cloth into the Indian subcontinent, but became unable to compete with the local muslin industry. The Company administration initiated several policies in an attempt to suppress the muslin industry, and muslin production subsequently experienced a period of decline. It has been alleged that in some instances Indian weavers were rounded up and their thumbs chopped off, although this has been refuted by historians as a misreading of a report by William Bolts from 1772. [38] [39] [40] The quality, finesse and production volume of Bengali muslin declined as a result of these policies, continuing when India transitioned from Company rule to British Crown control. [38] [41] Uses [ edit ] Dressmaking and sewing [ edit ] In Advantages of wearing Muslin Dresses! (1802), James Gillray satirically pointed out a hazard of untreated muslin: its flammability.

Surgeons use muslin gauze in cerebrovascular neurosurgery to wrap around aneurysms or intracranial vessels at risk for bleeding. [45] The thought is that the gauze reinforces the artery and helps prevent rupture. It is often used for aneurysms that, due to their size or shape, cannot be microsurgically clipped or coiled.
