The term ‘Seersucker’ was later coined to refer to the\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e rumpled linear effect by using a combination of loose and tight weaves.  I\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003et was taken from Persian words “shîr” (=milk) and “shaker” (=sugar), referring to a contrast of smooth and grainy textures. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeersucker is perfect any time of year, but it is a wonderful cloth for summer as the texture keeps the cloth away from the skin, and this increases breathability. Another huge bonus is that it’s resistant to creasing.  This is perfect for dresses, summer kaftans, blouses, shirts, skirts, wide leg trousers, and pyjamas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis gorgeous Merchant and Mills Seersucker is available in 5 colourways:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cantaloupe (Rich Mustard), Galaxy (Deep Navy), Muddy Moss (Coffee Brown), Aspen (Deep Pine Green), Pomegranate (Rusty Red).  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e➡️Indian handlooms are sometimes susceptible to irregularities in the weave due to their handmade nature, this is all part of their charm and are not classed as flaws. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e➡️ALSO, this cloth travelled off rolls\/bolts and packed tightly in a box, so some of the texture is flattened.  I've tested the recovery of this by wetting the cloth, and it bounces back perfectly.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e➡️For the first couple of washes, place the fabric in the washing machine drum at with a handful of table salt. This will help fix the dye to prevent it running.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e➡️Wash separately at 30 or 40 degrees with a non-bio detergent.
