Japanese term or phrase: サマーローン
This appears in a clothing description and, as best as I can tell, seems to be the name of a type of fabric. But I can't find its English equivalent. It looks like it would be spelled out as "summer loan" or "summer lawn," but neither of those makes sense. Some descriptors given for it are 軽やかな着心地と透け感 (a lightweight feel and a sheer look). Anyone know what to call it? (Thanks in advance.)

lawn fabric cloth for wearing in spring and summer


Explanation:
lawn fabric is light, sheer and thin but supple for spring and summer, mainly for women, not in fall and winter due to little heat retainability

Lawn has nothing to do with grass but a name of fabric type as a non-English proper name. Not make some people get it wrong with grass, definitive remarks are required for the translation.
