What are sheer fabrics? What types are commonly used in Indian ethnic garments?
Sheer fabrics are lightweight, semi-transparent or fully transparent fabrics that you can see through to varying degrees. They add an airy, delicate quality to garments and are widely used in Indian ethnic wear for overlays, dupattas, and embellishment bases.
Common sheer fabrics in Indian ethnic wholesale:
| Fabric | Transparency | Texture | Primary Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chiffon | Very sheer | Smooth, slippery | Sarees, dupattas, overlays |
| Georgette | Semi-sheer | Grainy, slight stretch | Sarees, suits, kurtis |
| Organza | Sheer | Crisp, structured | Wedding sarees, dupattas, capes |
| Net / Tulle | Very sheer | Open mesh | Dupattas, lehenga overlays, embroidery base |
| Voile | Sheer | Soft, fine plain weave | Summer sarees, dupattas |
| Lawn | Slightly sheer | Smooth, fine cotton | Pakistani suits, summer fabric |
💡 Sheer fabrics always require a lining or inner layer for modesty — except when used specifically as overlay or dupatta. Factor lining cost into your wholesale calculation for sheer garments.
