Description
Chiffon is a translucent fabric, or gauze, it is a lightweight, balanced plain-woven sheer fabric, or gauze, woven of alternate S- and Z- Twist crepe (high-twist) yarns. Chiffon is smoother and more lustrous than the similar fabric, Georgette.
Early chiffon was made purely from silk. Under a magnifying glass, chiffon resembles a fine net or mesh, which gives it some transparency.
Chiffon is most commonly used in evening wear, especially as an overlay, for giving an elegant and floating appearance to the gown. It is also a popular fabric used in blouses, ribbons, scarves and lingerie.
I use silk chiffon in so many of my doll customising projects and can always rely on Beckford Silk.
Very beautiful fabric and accurately described, too early to show what I’m doing with it, but I’d be happy to upload a picture later if you tell me how
Gorgeous, simply stunning. The drape and shimmer of this silk chiffon is the perfect marriage for my daughters hand knitted wedding dress lace. The colour is perfect. It says off white and that is a true description of the piece I recieved
Using this fabric as an overlay for a wedding dress. Super quality and drapes well. Fantastic value for money.
