    Sheers, Scarves & Shawls Vintage Inspirations/Spring 2017

    Virtually every designer the world-over showed sheer fabric pieces for Spring and Summer this year. Layered over and under, sheer pieces were large and small, lacey or chiffon-like; incorporated embroidered or plain netting, or were inset with tulle into peekaboo cutaways in the latest collections. A tease of skin showing through varied from demure to daring on the runways, and this week we honor their vintage gossamer counterparts, including see-through scarves, lace, knit and chiffon shawls in the mix. It's a nebulous triple threat in this parade, so show us your vintage sheers, scarves and shawls.
