Chiffon Fabric
Ultra-sheer, featherlight chiffon fabric for elegant sarees, dupattas, and flowing fashion - available in polyester and silk variants in bulk from Clothwala.
What is Chiffon Fabric?
Chiffon is an ultra-lightweight, sheer, plain-weave fabric made from twisted yarns. It is lighter and sheerer than georgette, with a smoother surface and more fluid drape. Polyester chiffon (the most common commercial variant) weighs between 40-70 GSM, creating an almost translucent fabric that layers beautifully. Chiffon has a slight stretch due to its twisted yarn construction and is known for its soft, floating quality when worn. It is one of the most delicate and feminine fabrics in Indian fashion.
Key Properties
Key properties: ultra-sheer and lightweight (40-70 GSM), smooth silky hand feel, excellent drape and flow, slight stretch, semi-transparent (requires lining for most garments), vibrant print colour output due to smooth surface, delicate - requires careful handling. Chiffon prints retain colour brilliance better than most fabrics due to its fine smooth weave.
Origin & History
Chiffon originated in France, with the word derived from the French word for 'cloth' or 'rag'. Originally made from silk, chiffon became widely accessible when polyester versions were developed in the mid-20th century. In India, chiffon became popular in the 1980s and 1990s for Bollywood-inspired fashion. Today, polyester chiffon from Surat is used across the Indian garment industry, from mass-market fashion to boutique collections. Silk chiffon remains a premium product used in bridal and couture fashion.
Why Brands Choose Chiffon
Chiffon's sheer, flowing quality gives garments a premium, delicate aesthetic at an accessible price. It is the go-to fabric for dupatta, sheer blouses, flowy kurtas, and layered lehenga dupattas. For brands targeting the women's ethnic and occasion wear market, chiffon printed in vibrant florals or traditional motifs is a consistent bestseller. Its lightweight nature makes it ideal for summer and festive collections where comfort and elegance are equally important.

Chiffon accounts for nearly 30% of our dupatta orders. The number one complaint we hear from new buyers is that cheap chiffon tears easily at the seams. That is why we only stock 60 denier and above. Our chiffon range starts at Rs 30 per meter for basic poly chiffon and goes up to Rs 90 for silk-blend. We recommend buyers always order a 1-meter sample cut before placing bulk orders.
Buying Tips for Chiffon
Tip 1: For garment export orders, plan 15-20% extra fabric for cutting waste and quality rejects. This is industry standard.
Tip 2: Always order a 1-meter sample cut before placing bulk orders. Fabric drape and hand feel can vary between batches.
