English to Spanish Art/Literary Textiles / Clothing / Fashion Regency fashion

The dress was not as fine as the beautiful gowns that the women of the ton wore. They chose the silks that were so fine they seemed to float around a body; NNN’s was made of lilac **sarsenet**.

También puede escribirse sarcenet o sarsnet.

He encontrado una buena definición (que más abajo copio) pero no el nombre equivalente de la tela en español, si lo hay. Entiendo que el origen de la palabra es francés.

El texto corresponde a una novela histórica ambientada en la época de la Regencia inglesa.

Sarsnet: a thin twilled fabric which uses different colors in the warp and weft, thus allowing the fabric to subtly change colors as it moves. Though it is sometimes spelled sarsenet or sarcenet, the fashion magazines of the Regency period almost always use the spelling sarsnet. http://candicehern.com/regency-world/glossary/sarsnet/

Agradezco su ayuda.
