Gauze-like refers to a thin, sheer and translucent fabric that is often used for medical dressing or as a decorative material. Antonyms for gauze-like are thick, opaque, solid, heavy, dense, dark, and robust. Thick fabrics are durable and offer better insulation, thus are ideal for winter clothing. Opaque fabrics are not see-through, and they often come in dark colors, making them suitable for curtains and upholstery. Solid, heavy, and dense fabrics are ideal for outdoor gear and protective wear. Dark fabrics often have a subdued and serious feel which may be perfect for some occasions. Robust fabrics are hard-wearing and can be used in upholstery and outdoor gear.
