Georgette fabric is a sheer, lightweight material that is great for an array of garments, including blouses, dresses, scarves, and other flowy, sheer pieces. It is similar to chiffon but has a slightly heavier weight, greater durability, and less lustrous finish.

Though Chiffon and Georgette have many similarities, it’s important to note the differences between the two fabrics. Chiffon is softer, thinner, and more lustrous, while Georgette is a bit heavier, more durable, and has a crinkly texture due to the highly twisted threads.
