challisn.

Brit.

/ˈ(t)ʃalɪs/,

/ˈ(t)ʃali/, U.S.

/ˈ(t)ʃæli/,

/ˈ(t)ʃæləs/

Etymology: In modern French challis, chalys, chaly: but the name is apparently of English origin, and not improbably from the surname Challis.

A fine silk and worsted fabric, very pliable and without gloss, used for ladies' dresses, ‘introduced at Norwich about 1832, where it speedily became fashionable’ (S. W. Beck Draper's Dict.). Also attributive.

1882 S. W. Beck Draper's Dict. Challis was made on a similar principle to the Norwich crape, only thinner and softer, composed of much finer materials, and instead of a glossy surface, as in Norwich crapes, the object was to produce it without gloss, and very pliable and clothy.
