Q. What kind of fabric is sheer?

Answer

Sheer fabrics can be made from natural fibers like silk or cotton, or man-made materials like rayon or nylon. They're lightweight, so anyone can layer them with a variety of other fashionable items, and they go well with opaque textiles. To put it simply, sheer cloth is any transparent textile. Sheer fabric, in contrast to opaque fabrics, does not conceal the body from view. It is not very good at keeping the cold out, thus it is typically reserved for summertime wear, such as underwear and lingerie for ladies. Dancewear and lingerie are two other common applications of sheer fabrics. These days, a user may spot them on anything from a business top to a summer skirt, a wedding dress to a swimsuit.
