Russian term

фатиновый

Russian to English Other Textiles / Clothing / Fashion
Material used in a dress. There are two photgraphs on Yandex of wedding dresses of this material; the context (editing) that I am dealing with is "легкая юбочка из расшитого тюля на фатиновом подъюбнике с окантованными краями". The original translation gives 'fatine' (but is queried); the only 'fatine/fatiné' that I can trace on the Internet seems to be a belly dancer(!).

Fatin is a very delicate netting, something like tulle, but much more delicate. And there are several types of this fabric. The English equivalents are English Net, Stretch Net or simply Net - the definitions you may find in this glossary:

Veiling is something very similar, while organza is completely different. I would go either with net or veiling.

Alex, we are talking about фатин, not veil.And even not veil, but veiling.Фатин - это тончайшая сетка, наподобие тюля(я полагаю,вы знаете, что такое тюль).||| Фатин(whatever it may be called in English)has nothing to do with lace

veiling ?

It seems that the word comes from "фата" (wedding veil), so maybe the material is just "veiling".

veiling сущ.
общ. материал для вуали; ткань для вуали, фаты; чадры
тех. затягивание вуалью; вуалевая ткань

The reason it\'s not there in English may be that the word is coined from Russian \"фата\" which in English is bridal veil.

Many links like that where (veil) comes in brackets after this mysterious \"fatine\". I would look into \"bridal veil fabric\" direction or \"organza\".

Offering - sort of tongue in cheek!

Fantin in Arabic is a girl's name meaning charming, seductive, fascinating. You know, the "dance of the seven veils." On the other hand, Fan Tin is the name of a textile and fashion company is Hong Kog - maybe it's one of their fabrics. But I would just call it "veiling" - any of various light sheer fabrics (as net, lace, or chiffon) suitable for weils nd used also for making dresses,hats, and scarves - and keep on trucking.....

Errata
Kong (not Kog), ...veils (not weils) and (not nd).
It\'s too early in the morning for my fingers to be connected to my brain (or they can\'t find it!).

More errata - bad day!

Fatin, Fa Tin - not Fantin, Fan Tin. Must be thinking about fan dancer rather than belly dancers with their veils!

Crackpot contribution--typo?

Any chance there is a typo and the term wanted is SATEEN?

Sateen is shiny with crisp surface but is NOT sheer.

The thing is, this kind of skirt would be either tulle outside and a sheer underskirt.

Or it COULD be tulle with a non-translucent sateen underskirt.

Go Figure. I cam guessing. But in English we DO NOT put veiling in skirts. It just sounds weird and mwe might just say some adjective like sheer.
