  • Seersucker is a light thin fabric, generally cotton or rayon, with a crinkled or puckered surface and a usually striped pattern. Originally, in the eighteenth century, seersucker was striped Indian cotton, the stripes being the identifying feature. You can tell that from the original name, the Persian shir o shakar, literally “milk and sugar”, in reference to what we would now call its candy stripes.
