Georgette

Georgette is a lightweight, sheer-to-semi-sheer fabric woven from tightly twisted yarns, which gives it a dry, slightly crinkled surface and a graceful drape. It is less slippery than chiffon and easier to cut and stitch.

Georgette is a top choice for sarees, kurtis, dupattas, gowns, lehenga linings and layered dresses. Choose ready-dyed shades, printed designs or dyeable options for your own colours.

Check the weight and how sheer the cloth is before you buy. Lighter georgettes suit dupattas and layers, while heavier ones hold their shape in kurtis and dresses. For opaque garments, plan a lining.

Sheer fabrics are best hand-washed or machine-washed in a mesh bag on a gentle cycle, then dried flat. Press with a cool iron on the reverse, and use fine needles and a small stitch length when sewing.

Georgette has a crepe-like, slightly grainy surface and more body, while chiffon is smoother, lighter and more transparent. Georgette is easier to sew, so many makers prefer it for everyday kurtis and sarees. See our chiffon collection.
