Marocain(e) is, I think, quite a heavy crepe silk fabric, and it drapes well, nice texture. It was very fashionable at that time, I hope it's what you were seeking.

Just been looking at another marriage which has a very brief write-up in the local newspaper, but extensive coverage elsewhere.
I have stopped reading descriptions as they all differ slightly.
The bride was clad in soft white crepe de chine or mousseline de soie or ninon de soie or satin.
