This is not a particularly sheer scarf and I would not consider it "delicate."  But it is nice and if it matches my wardrobe I will certainly keep it. I still have to check it with colors.  It is well sewn as I examined the sewn edge around the large scarf.  The color is a very light blue background which almost looks like it should be white but isn't.  It is very nice.  It is 100% viscose and I believe will hold up well.
