Fun Fact: Doiley was a 17th-century London draper who made popular "woolen stuff" once "cheap and genteel", introduced for summer wear in the latter part of the 17th c." At the time, it was used as an adjective, as in "doily stuffs" or "doily suit". Later, usage shifted to refer to "a small ornamental napkin used at dessert," known as a "doily-napkin".
