Our Cationic Chiffon comes in many different colours.[/caption]
Cationic Chiffon – The lightest type of chiffon that we stock, this beautiful material comes in a whole host of different colours, and it is especially popular amongst customers looking for bridesmaid dress fabrics. Its light weight gives it a floaty nature when worn, and it looks fantastic when layered over itself or another fabric. Our cationic chiffon is 140cm/56” wide.
Chiffon – Maybe you are looking to Buy Chiffon of a medium weight – if so, this is the fabric for you. Our regular chiffon is slightly more opaque than its cationic counterpart, and it comes in a range of shades suitable for weddings, prom and formal evening wear.
Extra Wide Chiffon – If our regular chiffon has caught your eye but isn’t quite wide enough for your needs, then take a look at our extra wide version. The two are very similar to each other and feature some nearly identical colours, but the extra wide chiffon measures in at 150cm/60” wide, as opposed to our regular chiffon’s 115cm/45”.
