Whilst still a Lightweight Fabric, georgette is slightly heavier than our other chiffon fabrics and is the ideal choice for dressmakers who require a fabric with a slightly less "fly-away" appearance than that achieved with regular chiffon fabric. Georgette is easily recognisable by its unique crepe-like texture and is used to achieve a bouncy, flowing finish to hand made creations such as bridal gowns. Due to its slightly heavier body, georgette is much better at holding embellishment than many other Lightweight Fabrics and is often the first choice for embellished bridal gowns.
We carry a fantastic selection of Lightweight Fabrics suitable for a wide range of dressmaking projects. All of our Lightweight Fabrics are designed to complement our complete range of dressmaking fabrics and are available to purchase in varying compositions and weights.
