Default looking for an old type fabric

Hi, in the seventies I used to make my nightgowns out of
a cotton fabric with narrow bands of flat fabric and
narrow bands of bubbled fabric between them. It often
came with small roses printed on it. That fabric was THE
BEST for nightgowns, but I haven't seen it in years. My
sister thinks it is called Pleisse or something like
that. pronounced PLEAZAY does this ring a bell ot
anyone? anyone know how to spell it? I've done an
internet search with that spelling and come up with a
river in Germany, so I know I'm wrong somewhere. LOL
any help would be gratefully appreciated.
