What is the best fabric to use when making moth/butterfly wings for a costume?

I need something that is fairly sheer and thin, yet emulates the feel of real butterfly wings; soft and fuzzy.|||Pantyhose, because you don't have to worry about raw edges. You pull it over your frame and then cut off the excess, and hand sew the openings.


.|||There are sheers available. Sheers would work well if you are going to use a "frame" to secure it to. If you want a free floating kind of thing that drapes your arms, sheers would work well for that too. Check your fabric stores and ask the ladies behind the counter to help you. Most have done projects of this sort and can be very helpful.
