un effet de l�gert� lourde Explanation: or maybe the other way round (lourde l�gert�) to emphasise the fact that while it's luxuriously heavy, it's still light and comfortable to wear. Hope it helps. |

effet lourd-l�ger Explanation: Here I prefer using a qualifying term as compared to a straight translation. In my opinion, lourde l�geret� or l�geret� lourde can't be used, as it cannot exactly define the visual EFFECT of the material. In this case one will wonder; "Is the material heavy or light." The EFFECT needs an qualifying adjective which induces both feels. |
