Sheer fabric is back as one of hottest 2008 and 2009 fashion trends, and plenty of celebrities are wearing it. But don’t worry, it’s not all about tight, see-through tops, and dresses that scream ‘look at me’ as we saw in the 1990s. Run your eyes over the Spring / Summer 2008 and Spring / Summer 2009 runway collections and you’ll find sheer fabrics used in a multitude of ways: tight sheer pieces, layers, and the much sought after delicate, feminine draping.

If you had any doubt that the sheer trend would transcend 2008′s fashion trends to become a 2009 fashion trend, then you only need to look to Just Cavalli Spring/Summer 2009 at Milan Fashion Week for reassurance.
