What does TOILE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A plain, often sheer linen or cotton fabric, or a trial version of a garment made up in cheap cloth to test its design.
A toile in dressmaking is a rough first version of a garment, stitched together in inexpensive cloth so that fit and proportion can be checked and corrected before the expensive final fabric is cut. The same French word also names the plain, semi-transparent linen or cotton cloth used for such trials and for other purposes such as lining. A separate and now more familiar use, toile de Jouy, names a style of printed fabric showing detailed pastoral scenes in a single colour on a pale background, still sold today as upholstery and wallpaper. Fashion students are usually taught to make a toile before ever touching the fabric a garment will finally be sewn from.
How TOILE is used
Used chiefly by dressmakers for the trial garment or the plain fabric itself; also short for the printed pattern toile de Jouy.
- The designer pinned adjustments onto the toile before the final cut.
- She made a toile from an old sheet to check the pattern fit.
- The curtains were made from a blue toile de Jouy print.
- A toile rarely uses the same fabric as the finished garment.
- He learned to sew a toile before attempting the real dress.
