For those with the mid-19th-century "sheer dress" obsession:
Silk 1" check sheers:

I got swatches of three colors. I would describe this as like an organza
weave but without any dressing. Soft and slippery, not super easy to
work with, but very pretty.
I'm not going to argue about whether this is 1oo% authentic or not and
dig up 14 similar examples from museum pictures on the net. It's pretty
and a lot of people might like it.
