Chiffon Chiffon is an elegant and sheer fabric made of silk, rayon, cotton, or synthetics. The fabric is very fine, thin hand and lightweight. It is soft and supple, which gives a beautiful drape. It wears very well but is difficult to handle when sewing. It has slightly bumpy look and is best suited to shirring, draping, gathering and tucking.

Chiffon is a plain weave fabric. It is made of loose and tightly twisted yarns. The yarns are either in the filling or the warp or both. It has crepe like texture because the threads are first twisted and then woven. It has very slight rough feel but is softer and thinner than Georgette. Polyester chiffon is very strong and dries quickly.

The word 'Chiffon' has been derived from a French word 'Chiffe', which mean 'rag'.
