To really set off the Duchess Satin, and create a beautiful look of textures, Chiffon would compliment any garment!

Our chiffon is made from 100% polyester and comes in a standard width of 115cm wide. We also have a selection of Cationic Chiffon which is slightly different to normal chiffon as is iridescent and catches the light of two colours which looks really effective! Our Cationic Chiffon looks like real silk as it is so sheer and light to the touch. If you love chiffon as much as we do, we also have a stunning selection of Printed Chiffon in some absolutely gorgeous designs, which will give a unique look to any garment!
