My Mom used to call these white dresses adorned with tucks and lace "lingerie dresses." When I pointed out that they weren't underwear, she replied that the term lingerie came from the fine linen used, and continued to be used when the dresses were fine cotton instead of linen.
Did she get that right?

Your comment doesn't make any sense. You understand we were talking about fabric, right?
