I'd like to have a slight translucency to the sheet behind her, but there are no mats with the prop, and if I set it to matt translucent it becomes tooo translucent (and very noisy).

Any suggestions? I've never used matt translucent, or the transluceny setting for glossy materials either, so I've no clue what to do for the best.

 

Here is what i would do. make a texture for it, something similar to rough parchment looking. Then use that same texture and change it to shades of grey and play with the contrast to make a transparency texture, dark for transparant, white for solid. you could also try the transparency texture as a displacement if you want more contrast, I would keep it glossy to give it more shadows and light.
