voile

Diaphanous curtain fabric

Voile is a soft, sheer fabric with a plain weave, typically made from cotton, silk, or synthetic fibers.

It's light enough to see through, making it popular for curtains, blouses, and summer dresses: The morning light filtered through the voile curtains.

The word is French for "veil."
