Hello

Also known as window sheers or panels, curtains or drapes made of sheer fabric typically hang the full length of a window, if not all the way to the floor. The transparency of sheer fabric allows for a window to be dressed, but for sunlight to still come through. Window sheers are often offset with a top layer of window coverings.Sheer fabric comes in a wide variety of colors, but white and shades of white, such as cream, winter white, eggshell, and ivory are most popular. Sheer fabric can be purchased at most any fabric store. If purchasing sheer fabric to sew your own window sheers, allow ample length to include a top hem wide enough for your curtain rod and a bottom.Other uses for sheer fabric include wedding gowns and formal costumes. The nature of sheer fabric makes it more delicate to cut and sew than many other types of fabric.
