Strong fabric, usually of cotton, in plain weave with fine ribbing used for dresses and children's wear (6)

I believe the answer is:

poplin

(Other definitions for poplin that I've seen before include "Type of fabric" , "Corded cotton fabric" , "Ribbed fabric" , "Lightweight corded cotton" , "Material" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
