Gorgeous Chiffon Sarees That Redefine Grace and Comfort

Chiffon has recently grown to be one of the most popular fabrics for sarees, dresses, anarkalis, etc. Its lightweight and elegant nature has made it reach even the heights of Bollywood, with several celebrities adorning chiffon sarees at many red carpets and promotional events. Chiffon is made from a light weaving process that produces an airy and shiny cloth. Primarily made from silk, the luxurious nature of the fabric is reflected in the price of the saree, since these can be quite expensive. Synthetic chiffons, on the other hand, are cheaper and therefore more accessible to the general public.

 The fabric of chiffon is known for its shiny and rough texture. If you hold it under a magnifying glass, you can notice that it becomes quite transparent and mesh-like. It also has a spandex-like nature and can be quite stretchable. Silk chiffons are more stretchable than synthetic chiffons due to the natural pliability of silk. Chiffon is also sometimes made from cotton, which gives it a matte texture. Whereas, chiffon made from silk has a more shimmery and shiny texture. The best word to describe the chiffon fabric is ‘floating’ due to its lightweight and sheen.
