Toile

Toile is a textile fabric comparable to fine batiste with a cloth weave. Natural silk or chemical fiber filaments are usually used as materials. The word toile can refer to the fabric itself or to a test garment sewn from calico.

The French term toile entered the English language around the 12th century, was used in the Middle Ages and has since disappeared.
