What kind of material is georgette?

Our apparel and fashion silk georgette is a thin, semi-transparent and matte fabric, fluid yet crisp, soft and shivery at the same time.

Produced with silk crepe high twist yarn both in warp and weft alternating 2S-2Z, it features a slightly raised effect and a crepe appearance. Plain weave.

For which garments is georgette suitable?

Lightweight and semi-sheer, our beautiful silk georgette fabric is suitable for making vaporous dresses with overlapping effects made by using more than one layer. Perfect also for blouses and tunics, skirts, bridal dresses and lingerie. It also makes an excellent fabric to use for sheer insets, as ruffles, flowing scarves or draped extensions.

What is the difference between georgette and chiffon?

Silk georgette is very close in appearance to chiffon, but is slightly heavier and has a slightly denser crepe appearance. It is sturdier, thicker, stronger, more durable and a bit easier to work with. Silk chiffon has a better sheer and a better drape, in terms of layers and volume.
