The word chiffon comes from the French word “chiffe,” meaning “rag,”. The fabric has a soft flowing texture. The S- or Z-twist of the threads is what gives the fabric its “stretch.” Silk chiffon was once worn only by the wealthy as a sign of status. In 1958, polyester was produced and polyester chiffon became more widely used because of its cost and durability.
Today, chiffon is adored by women all around the world. It is elegant and sophisticated, but it is also durable and affordable.
This season, chiffon lehngas are trending in Indian wardrobes. They are light weight even though they are crafted from 12 yards of fabric with as many as 80 kalis. Despite the flares though, they are slim fitting at the waist and hip, and hence complimentary to the female figure.
