Voile is a lightweight, sheer fabric often made from cotton, polyester, or silk. It is commonly used in clothing, curtains, and other home textiles due to its soft drape and translucent quality. The fabric is breathable, making it ideal for warm weather garments and airy window treatments. Originally derived from the French word for "veil," voile has a slightly crisp texture that adds elegance to various designs. It is popular in fashion for creating flowing dresses and blouses, as well as in interior design for softening light in a room while maintaining privacy.
