Flame-Retardant Chiffon is a delicate, ultra-lightweight polyester fabric prized for its soft drape, gauzy texture, and sheer elegance. Unlike our 118″ Voile, this fabric is only 60″ wide and has a gauze-like appearance.
With a delicate transparency and gentle texture, chiffon is commonly used for event draping, table runners and decor. It can also be used in apparel for items like blouses, scarves, skirts, dresses, and soft overlays.
Unlike other sheer fabrics with more structure, chiffon offers a fluid, airy feel that moves beautifully in motion and under light – making it a top choice for fashion, stage, and soft scenic elements.
