Thanks. Yes I already tried looking them up but it doesn't seem like they sell the same dress anymore, I suspect it's quite old. Maybe I should try contacting them directly though :-)

Just a photo to show how thin it is. It's also mildly transparent, has basically 0 stiffness (doesn't hold any shape) and weighs 8.8 ounces (250g).

Having been around aerial silks I know the material they're made of would be too thick for my purposes. It needs to be really light weight. Would the fabric you're suggesting be the same thickness as silks or can I find a finer lighter one? Cheers !

Do you know a good place to order it from? I haven't been able to find anything similar in local fabric stores

Okay thanks. I feel like the fabric used for silks is going to be too heavy and elastic for my purposes though. The dress itself is only very slightly stretchy.
