Chiffon is a plain weave with the warp and weft threads being the same weight and woven in a basic over-under crisscross pattern giving it a checkerboard appearance. It is lightweight and sheer being quite transparent and is made from silk,synthetic or cotton fibers. It is an airy fabric making it great to wear against the skin. Chiffon fabric is usually used for evening wear, blouses, ribbons, scarves and lingerie but is making a big comeback for blouses this season. Of course it is a great fabric to use for corporate scarves too!
Because the fabric is transparent seams and darts are kept to a minimum and stitching must be neat and narrow with french seams being the preferred sewing method.
Why not add some flair to your ladies corporate wear range this year and add in a chiffon item for fun!
