Tarlatan is a starchy, gauze-like fabric used in delicate dressmaking and millinery, historically notable for its lightweight, sheer texture. As a noun, it denotes the fabric itself and, less commonly, items made from it. The term also appears in historical costume contexts and textile discussions, often contrasting with heavier muslin or crinoline. Its usage is specialized, with roots in European textile trade and fashion history.
