When I got my set of swatches from Dharma a couple of years ago, I was
surprised to find out that the barely there veiling in all those Italian
portraits was a real fabric. (My taste runs to linen and wool with
interesting weaves.)
Dharma has white silk gauze in two weights and widths, here:

you a swatch for just a quarter.
