noun
historical
A light, sheer dress fabric of silk and wool, woven in a loose gauzy way.
The name comes from Barèges, a town in the Pyrenees where the cloth was first made. It was popular in the nineteenth century for summer dresses, shawls and veils because it was thin yet warm. Some versions mixed silk with wool, and others used cotton in place of silk. In period novels a barege veil or gown often marks a lady of fashion.
