Highly flammable fabric, if I recall correctly. A lightweight, sometimes sheer fabric that was used to make women's shirtwaists around the turn of the 20th century. They were modern garments, with a tailored fit like men's shirts, but for women to wear in the workplace. They featured a gauzy fabric (like bombazine) for a feminine silhouette.
Cool word!
And you, my bombazine doll, the bullets may singe your skin and the mortars may fall.
