Originally a lustrous silk woven in Damascus; a reversible fabric of one or two colors in which figures are defined by the contrast of Weft and Warp faced satin.

Weft: The threads drawn through the Warp on a shuttle to produce a woven fabric.

Warp: A set of fixed threads set lengthwise on a loom.

Sheers are fabrics that are translucent and have an airy, light feel to them.

This fabric type makes a good overlay on top of solid color fabrics.

Any very light-weight fabric (e.g. chiffon, georgette, Voilé, sheer Crêpe). Usually has an open weave, very thin; diaphanous.
Derivation: Middle English schere, probably via dialect shire ‘pure, clear’ from Old English scºr, from Germanic.
