Chiffone dresses

Chiffon Chiffon is a light diaphanous fabric of silk, nylon. It is most commonly used in kameez shalwar dress. It is very strong, despite filmy look. It is very difficult to handle when sewing and it is best to baste the pieces over tissue to make it easier. It has slightly bumpy look. Chiffon is best suited to shirring, draping, gathering, tucking, etc., because it is so limp. If made in a straight sheath style, it should be underlined with very firm fabric. e.g. faille taffeta. Chiffon salwar suits are light and airy, and give soft and romantic feeling
