Marquise is a light, thin transparent cotton or viscose plain linen fabric . It is usually produced printed with a large floral pattern and less often bleached and one-colored.
The cotton voile is produced from twisted yarn of the highest quality, and viscose is produced from high-twist yarns. The marquette has an attractive appearance: it has a smooth surface with a pleasant silky sheen. The marquise is somewhat tougher than the cambric , passes air well, is little polluted and tolerates washing well. The marquette belongs to the summer shirts and dress fabrics [1] , it is mainly used to sew blouses and dresses, baby clothes, but sometimes even linen from the cotton voile [2] .
In Beranger ’s poem, “The Attic”, translated by V. A. Rozhdestvensky, the lyrical heroine Lisette is dressed in a colored dress from a light marquise: “At what price did your light marquise / I got you - I could not know then.” The marquette is also mentioned in the poem by Igor Severyanin “My acquaintance” and serves as a characteristic of the addressee of this work: “You are all from the marquise”.
