sheer cotton

Lightweight translucent textile

Sheer cotton is a lightweight, semi-transparent cotton fabric with a delicate, airy quality.

The weave is loose enough to allow light through while still providing some coverage.

Common in summer blouses, curtains, and lingerie: a sheer cotton dress perfect for the beach.

The fabric breathes well but offers little warmth or opacity.
