Georgette vs Chiffon vs Organza: Choosing Fabric for Indian Wear

SWIPE →

Quick answer

Georgette vs chiffon vs organza explained: how each fabric drapes, feels and photographs in Indian wear, which occasions suit them and how to care for each.

Georgette: the graceful all-rounder

Georgette is a lightweight fabric woven with tightly twisted yarns, which gives it a gently crinkled, matte surface.

Chiffon: light, floaty and delicate

Chiffon is also made from twisted yarns but is woven more loosely and finely. The result is smoother, lighter and more see-through than georgette.

Organza: crisp, sheer and sculptural

Organza is a thin, plain-weave fabric with a crisp, stiff hand. Traditionally silk, it is now widely made from polyester or nylon too.

How to care for each fabric

Georgette: dry clean embellished pieces. Plain georgette can be hand washed in cold water with mild detergent. Do not wring; roll in a towel and dry flat in the shade.
