What is Georgette?

Georgette is a light-weight, crinkled and sheer fabric, which displays an overall bouncy look. Georgette fabric comes in both translucent and opaque textures and is sheer. The main source of inspiration for this creation was the similar material Chiffon; Georgette is a more durable and stronger fabric. Georgette is a strong absorbent. This makes Georgette easy to dye. Georgette fabric gives a crushed feel. Originally Georgette was made from silk. Later it was blended with rayon. Modern Georgette is made with the use of synthetic filaments. Georgette is also used as a layer in a larger garment, this helps in not adding weight to the overall outfit. Due to Georgette’s thin texture, the Georgette fabric is also lightweight and easy to handle.The most intriguing part of the making of Georgette is the crepe-like twist. Georgette fabric is made using crepe weave. Instead of Chiffon, which gives a flowing look, Georgette is used for the same purpose. Blouses, dresses, suits,gowns and skirts are some of the most common garments on which Georgette fabric is used. Georgette fabric belongs to the family of crêpe fashion fabrics and is a woven silk fabric with a slightly crinkled surface and a wonderful drape. In France, crêpe de soie was originally introduced around the turn of the twentieth century. Since then, it has been a mainstay of luxury fashion, especially for evening and wedding attire. Georgette is a kind of crêpe fabric that is normally made of pure silk but may also be made of rayon, viscose, and polyester. In the early twentieth century, French designer Georgette de la Plante introduced the original silk fabric.The transparent and lightweight silk fabric has a drab, matte feel.The tightly twisted strands used to weave crêpe georgette provide a somewhat crinkled appearance. Silk Georgette is extremely similar to silk chiffon, which is also a form of crêpe fabric, however because of the tighter weave, Georgette is not as transparent as chiffon. Georgette fabrics are occasionally marketed in plain colours, but they may also be printed and frequently include floral patterns in vibrant hues.

How Is Georgette Made?

Typically, georgette is a plain-weave fabric woven of tightly twisted s-twist and z-twist yarns, as these are yarns twisted in opposing directions. These twists generate small puckers on the fabric's surface, giving Georgette its trademark crinkled appearance.Georgette may also be woven with a satin or jacquard weave, resulting in satin Georgette and jacquard Georgette, respectively.

Six Features of Georgette

A variety of properties make Georgette a distinctive fabric. These consist of:

1. Lightweight and breathable material Georgette is a breathable, lightweight, fluid fabric. However, silk-based georgette is more breathable than its synthetic counterpart.
2. Crinkled. Due to the tightly twisted threads employed in its weave, georgette is characterised by its characteristic puckered look.
3. Sheer. Georgette is a transparent, translucent fabric, however it is significantly less sheer than its more net-like sibling, chiffon. 
4. Nice draping. Georgette is a highly fluid and structured fabric, especially for dresses and skirts. Layering georgette over plain textiles may give depth and produce an eye-catching look.
5. Holds dye nicely. Georgette fabric takes dye well, and silk's natural off-white colour may be dyed in a variety of colours and designs.
6. Slight elongation As a consequence of the weave and tightly twisted yarn, georgette fabric has some bounce and give.
