TRANSLUCENT FABRIC

BY PRADEEP & AKSHAY


ABOUT
• Otherwise known as semi – opaque, this group of fabrics
consists of materials that are woven in a solid form and
material with an open weave which includes holes and
patterns.
• Fishnet fashion fabric, lace and even hessian could be
considered semi opaque, simply because there are some
parts you can see through and some you can’t. The group
which is more considered translucent consists of fabric with
a complete weave that has semi see through visibility
ABOUT
• This fabric ranges in translucency. Some you can see slightly
through when the fabric is flat and some show a lot more
translucency when held up to light or over objects. The
images below demonstrate this change depending on light
and where the fabric is placed.
• As you can see with the metallic lame fabric here, when laid
flat it appears opaque and you can’t see through to the
text. Yet when the fabric is raised even slightly it becomes
very obvious the fabric is in fact translucent. So even
though the fabric is opaque, when flat it certainly doesn’t
belong in the opaque category.
