Their lawn is beautiful stuff! I've made several chemises and other assorted things from it, and I cant stress how soft and lovely it is. That being said, it might not be as sheer as you want (although it is very sheer). I would recommend buying a yard of it and a yard of Dharma's voile, which is also lovely, and experimenting. The voile is sheerer, but the lawn might be better for embroidery. Definitely needs testing. Hope this helps!
