Chiffon Lining Fabrics

Translucent and lightweight, Chiffon Lining Fabrics yield an airy drape that adds an ethereal feel to formal sewing projects. Although the earliest forms of chiffon were made from silk, nylon chiffon was invented in 1938. Just 20 years later, the invention of polyester chiffon became an immediate success due to its increased durability compared to silk. Chiffon has a coarse, gauzy hand and a slight stretch. Chiffon linings are great for airy pieces like dress linings, skirt linings, and more!
