Try Renaissance Fabrics, Burnley & Trowbridge, or Maggie Mae Fashions. You can find their links and more on the Fabrics resources page. 🙂

Older women can totally wear sheer dresses. The dress reflects the weather and in heat you need to wear thinner fabrics when wearing all those layers (which can be cooler than today’s minimal clothing). Sheers cottons help with this. Being older you can select more vibrant colors and prints but avoid white which would be for the younger set. 🙂

I m 60 and live in the South and am considering a sheer dress but I dont want to be wearing one out of context with my age.

The fabric I am using is an off white/black plaid semi-sheer.

Hi Shelley,
Deep ruffles work well on the skirt as well as some ruched strips on the sleeves. Your fabric sounds beautiful! Good luck with the dress!
Jennifer

I’m in love with the ballgown cut neckline under the sheer bodice. This piece inspired my own black sheer, which I just have to finish trimming before it makes its debut this season 🙂
