What is chiffon fabric

Chiffon fabric is a very light chemical fiber fabric, which belongs to relatively thin fabric.

Because the textile fabric is light, transparent and elastic, it looks light and elegant, has good air permeability and drapability, and is very comfortable and natural.

However, in most cases, chiffon fabrics are more used in making women’s clothes.

The spring and summer women’s clothes on the market can obviously see all kinds of chiffon.

Origin of chiffon fabric

Chiffon’s name comes from the sound and meaning of French chiffe, which means light, thin and transparent fabric. It is a textile product in silk products. The fabric is light, transparent, soft and elegant. Chiffon’s scientific name is “Georgette”. Georgette, also known as georgette crepe, is a silk fabric woven with strong twist crepe warp and crepe weft. The name of georgette comes from France. The light, heavy, thick, thin, transparent and crepe effect of georgette yarn mainly depend on the thickness, number of combinations, twist and warp and weft density of silk thread. The warp and weft yarns adopt two strong twist yarns with different twist directions of S twist and Z twist, which are arranged alternately according to 2S and 2Z (two left and two right), interleaved with plain weave, and the warp and weft density of the fabric is very small. After scouring, the green silk shrinks and crepes due to the untwisting effect of the silk thread, forming a Georgette with uniform wrinkles and loose structure on the silk surface.
