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.
What is georgette fabric used for?
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.
How do I choose the right georgette fabric?
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.
How should I care for and sew georgette fabric?
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.
What is the difference between georgette and chiffon?
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.
