Plain chiffon from £3.75 a metre — sheer, weightless and fluid in solid colours, for overlays and occasionwear.
Sewing and draping with plain polyester chiffon
Chiffon is a delicate, semi-transparent plain-weave fabric known for its airy drape and floaty movement. Woven from polyester, these fabrics hold fine gathers neatly without adding bulk or heavy weight to a garment. They are widely used for creating sheer sleeves, ruffled collars, tiered skirts, and flowing dress overlays.
Beyond garment sewing, the fluid fall of chiffon makes it a regular choice for ceremonial decoration and crafting. Common uses include:
- Bridal wear, formal gowns, and occasion overlays
- Wedding venue styling, chair swags, and archway draping
- Lightweight sashes, wraps, and craft work
Choosing between 44" and 150cm widths
Because pattern cutting layouts and event spaces vary in size, roll width is an essential practical factor to check. The plain chiffons in this selection are available in widths including 44" wide and 150cm wide.
A 44" width is practical for smaller pattern pieces, sleeves, and compact craft items where handling wider margins of slippery fabric can be awkward. For larger projects, such as sweeping bridal draping, long table runners, or gathered floor-length skirts, a 150cm wide material provides broad coverage with fewer pieced seams.
