Chiffon fabric is a transparent, sheer, and luminous fabric that drapes effortlessly. The chiffon fabric has a strong texture and holds dye well. You can use this lightweight fabric for making sarees and blouses. The fabric is very popular for evening dresses and high-fashion wear. You can also make sheer curtains out of the chiffon fabric to add delicacy to your home.

Chiffon fabric is slippery and sheer nature makes chiffon difficult to work with, especially for beginners, as it can be challenging to cut and sew accurately.
