Hi,
Sorry i keep on with this subjekt, i managed to get the fine linnen
from my old embroidery shop.
The linnen is very very fine and transparent, and i wondered could i
use this for trimmings two on gowns, in stead of silk gauge?

I've never seen linen trimming a silk gown, whereas there are several
gowns in collections with silk gauze. Silk organza makes a good
substitute, also tulle.
The V and A has a dress with gauze, and so does the Chester County
collection, I think - "Fitting and Proper" book. (Mind you that might
be "Costume Closeup" - I am using all of them right now for a sacque
I am making.)
