| What it is | Net is an open cloth with holes. It is used for overlay, trim, and some technical meshes. | See the mesh fabric notes, not a synonym swap. |
| Feel | Crisp or soft depending on finish. Open holes change both look and cover. | Judge the peer on its own sample. |
| Mass | Usually light. Technical nets can still feel firm. | Do not copy a GSM from one family to the other. |
| Typical use | Overlays, eveningwear, millinery, and some sports ventilation. | Match the peer to its own end use. |
| Watch-out | Snags, laddering, and poor cover. It rarely works as a self-lining. | The peer has its own limits. Read them. |
Does every net fabric listing mean the same cloth?
No. Net is an open cloth with holes. It is used for overlay, trim, and some technical meshes. Name fibre, hole size, and whether it is dress net, tulle, or a technical mesh.
Can you skip sampling net fabric?
Hold the sample over skin and over lining. Judge hole size in use.
What should stay on the brief besides the keyword net fabric?
Fibre, hole size, weight, width, and lining plan. Using dress net where a stable mesh or lining is required.
