glossy gros d'Orient Explanation: gros d'Orient isn't usually translated, it's like tulle. Would go for "glossy" for "glacé". |

Shiny, (stout) oriental silk Explanation: Please see reference. It's definitely a silk and probably "stout" based on other entries as you will see that "gros d'Orient glacé" is unfortunately the only one that is not defined precisely (so you have to look at the others to get an idea) Reference: http://www.ruthmills.com/glossary_of_terms.htm https://m.interglot.com/fr/en/tissu%20glac%C3%A9 |

glazed gros d’Orient (silk) fabric Explanation: Coming late to this. I would keep the French as in magazines of the era (when French terms were more widely used/understood by the elite) but in modern English I think adding the word "fabric" is necessary. "Glacé" is usually translated as "glazed" when speaking of fabric. Gros d’Orient may be a type of heavy (not "stout") silk but may also be satin, also popular at that time, which can be made from a mixture of threads including silk. Though I think it may not be necessary to include glazed or glossy if using "silk" since everyone already knows silk is a shimmering or shiny fabric https://books.google.ie/books?id=QmA-AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA209&lpg=P... https://books.google.ie/books?id=piYGAAAAQAAJ&pg=RA1-PA58&lp... |
