Chiffon is a fabric known for its sheer quality. It is transparent, airy and light on the wearer. From the French meaning ’cloth’, it is made from finely drawn out cotton, silk or synthetic fibres, spun in the balanced plain weave style. The fineness of the Chiffon Saree comes from the close placing of a number of fibres in a close pattern, which achieves a net that hardly allows anything to pass through. Chiffon Sarees decorated with beautiful designs and patterns are available in most colours and shades. The greatest advantage of the Chiffon Saree lies in the saree not wrinkling and retaining its neat shape throughout the day. Added to it is the fact that apart from seeing that it being delicate it does not fray, it requires very little care to maintain.
