Final answer:

The fabric in question is poplin, a light to medium weight fabric that uses either plain or sateen weaves, and is called 'glosheen' when made using the sateen weave.

Step-by-step explanation:

The fabric that is made in light to medium weights, which uses plain or sateen weaves, and employs a smooth lustrous cotton yarn is known as poplin. When this fabric is constructed using the sateen weave, it is also referred to as "glosheen." Neither satin, taffeta, nor organza, which are also common fabrics, match this description. Poplin is distinguished for its very fine horizontal ribs or cords, which is a result of using a fine warp yarn with a heavier weft yarn.
