Chiffon
is made from cotton, silk or synthetic fibres. Chiffon can be dyed to
almost any shade, but chiffon made from polyester can be difficult to
dye. Under a magnifying glass it resembles a fine net or mesh which
gives chiffon some see-through properties. 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. Like other crêpe fabrics,
chiffon can be difficult to work with because of its light and slippery
texture. Due to this delicate nature, chiffon must be hand washed very
gently.
