What a funny name for fabric.Seersucker is a thin, all-cotton fabric, commonly striped, used to make clothing for spring and summer wear. The word came into English from Hindi, which originates from the Persian words "shir o shakar," meaning "milk and sugar", probably from the resemblance of its smooth and rough stripes to the smooth surface of milk and bumpy texture of sugar.
It is back in style.

It's back in style? Too bad Jane got rid of her seersucker suit last year, it was one of my fav's.
For the record: I advised against getting rid of it.
She wore one a few weeks ago.
