Chiffon Silks
Description
Chiffon is elegant and sheer, with a very slightly rough feel to it. Chiffon
is lightweight (Chiffon is French for 'Rag'), but strong. Chiffon is softer
and thinner than Georgette, sometimes called 'Crepe Chiffon'. Georgette
is made like chiffon, but a two or three ply yarn is used.
General Uses
Chiffon is most often used for loose, full, flowing garments. Popular for
dresses, scarves and nightgowns. Hard to cut out and sew because it is so
flimsy and slippery. Doesn't show pin holes.
Fabric Care
Some chiffon is made with a special starch that may waterspot if it gets
wet. Check a small piece before you attempt to wash chiffon and especially
if you decide to wash a chiffon garment. A good dry cleaner can remove the
water spots. Click on the fabric care buttons to the left for more information
on washing silks.

ivory, and usually other solid colors. Call for colors and quantities on hand.
