Some people often confuse chiffon and georgette. Some even say that the scientific name of chiffon is georgette, and the two are the same thing. In fact, this statement is wrong
So chiffon and What are the essential differences between georgette?
One chiffon is a plain weave, and the warp and weft density of the fabric is very small
Others are twisted
Both have a light and transparent texture, smooth and soft feel, good breathability and good elasticity
Two differences between them
Chiffon The drape is not as good as Georgette. Because Georgette is twisted, Georgette has a higher drape and is more wear-resistant. It does not pill, shrink, deform, and is not easy to split. It also feels good and has a good color. It is pure and has rich and colorful printing patterns. It is very popular among fashionable women in the market and is not easy to wrinkle
Chiffon has smooth warp and weft and good breathability, and has been reduced in weight during the dyeing process. treatment, so its fabric feels particularly soft, has an elegant feel, has the characteristics of free shrinkage, and is easy to shrink, so it needs to be shrunk before production
Three chiffon fabrics are divided into: silk chiffon , Simulated silk chiffon
(1) Silk chiffon
Silk chiffon, as the name suggests, is woven from 100% mulberry silk, so it feels soft and smooth. Breathable and cool, with pearl luster
Disadvantages
It is troublesome to maintain, easy to fade and wrinkle, not very strong, easy to slip, and cannot be left in the sun Do not expose to the sun or put it under the light. You are afraid of being exposed to the light. It will turn yellow, become brittle, and tear easily
(2) Simulated silk chiffon
Simulated silk Chiffon is woven from polyester, viscose and other chemical fiber filaments
Advantages:
Its texture is relatively light and transparent, soft, elegant and smooth, and its color is relatively bright. Elastic, not easy to wrinkle, the luster is a bit dazzling, does not fade, is relatively wear-resistant, and is not afraid of sunlight exposure. It is easy to take care of
Disadvantages
It has poor moisture absorption and breathability, so use it The clothes made will be sweaty and hot to wear in summer. Chiffon clothes cannot be hung for a long time to avoid loosening and deformation. If there is local water staining, the whole body needs to be washed and ironed. If chiffon clothes are stored for a long time, it is best to put them in a fabric bag. , can achieve the purpose of breathability and dustproof
Four georgettes are divided into silk georgette, rayon georgette, polyester georgette and interwoven georgette, and can also be divided into 01 georgette 02 georgette
So what are 01 and 02 George? Many silk fabrics have numbers. Different numbers represent different yarn count densities, and the weight per gram is also different. 01 Georgette is an 8mm meter, and 02 Georgette is a 10mm meter. In other words, 02 Georgette is an 8mm meter. The weight per gram should be greater than 01 Georgette per gram
Which of the two has better quality? Georgette is slightly more high-end than chiffon. Why do you say this?
Because we all know that authentic chiffon and Georgette are a type of silk, and its raw materials are silk. With the development of modern technology, imitation technology is becoming more and more advanced. There are many cheap chiffons on the market now, which are made from purified fiber through modern technology. They are polyester fabrics, which are chemical fiber fabrics. This phenomenon gives people the false impression that chiffon is of poor quality. The real situation is that the quality of silk chiffon is still very good, and Georgette has its own advantages. The key depends on personal preferences or what it is used for
Now that I have shared it today At this point, friends who like it can collect, forward, like and follow. Here I am sharing little knowledge about silk fabrics every other day. I hope my sharing can help you, thank you friends
