SHEERIO

Van Raalte's SHEERIO line, used the most beautiful silky and ultra sheer nylon imaginable. Most of the labels I've seen have the SHEERIO name on them, but occasionally you will see the same fabric called PHILMY Sheerio, or sometimes just PHYLMY. These pieces are becoming harder to find and are commanding high prices, so if you have an opportunity to own a Sheerio piece do not pass it up.

"Sheerio" trademark registered in 1934, but was in use as early as 1931. The trademark was renewed by Van Raalte in 1974. It is now dead.
