Chiffon Fabric

The name "chiffon" comes from the pronunciation and meaning of Chiffon in English, which means light and transparent fabric. It is a spinning product in silk products. The fabric is light, transparent, soft and elegant.

The scientific name of chiffon is "georgette", and georgette, also known as georgette, is a kind of silk fabric woven with strong twist crepe warp and crepe weft. The warp and weft are made of S-twist and Z-twist, and they are arranged alternately in ZS and 2Z, and are interwoven with plain weave. After the grey silk is refined, it shrinks and becomes crepe due to the untwisting effect of the silk thread, forming a georgette with uniform wrinkles and loose structure on the silk surface.
