Chiffon fabric is a light and airy fabric. It is often see-through, and when done on clothing often requires the wearer to put something under the chiffon for modesty. The open textured fabric is most often worn during the summer months or in warmer climates. It is typically made into garments intended for use during cooler temperatures.

Originally made from silk, chiffon fabric is made from several different fibers, but most commonly cotton and wool. Cotton gauze fabric is especially comfortable in hot weather, as it tends not to cling to the wearer’s skin. It also allows air to flow freely through it.

While cotton and silk are organic fibers, chiffon fabric is also made from non-organic fibers. These fibers include viscose, rayon, and acetate, among others. Synthetic fibers are also often added to cotton, silk, or wool fibers. For example, a pinch of lycra is often added to cotton gauze fabric to create greater wearability and durability. With the addition of lycra, the chiffon fabric becomes a stretchy fabric.
