Muslin
The muslin is a fine and transparent fabric originating in Mosul in Iraq.
Come from the Indies, it appears in France at the 18th century initially in Soie then in Coton. In spite of the efforts of the State (import bans, encouragements to manufacture), it will be necessary to wait the 19th century so that the industry of the muslin develops in France.
The costumes of muslin, in vogue, created a new industry. The muslin is a fine, transparent and vaporous fabric. It is woven with fine wire and surtordus, little tightened, out of cotton, silk, wool, viscose or synthetic. It adapts perfectly to the costumes and is also used for furnishing.
Light and solid, the muslin often gets busy in the behavior of Ballet and furnishes the top with the wheels of the long and romantic Tutu S.

This term is also used in Cuisine: by extension, it indicates very light potato mashed potatoes.
