What is Georgette?


Are you a clothing or home goods manufacturer who is unsure whether Georgette is a fabric, a weave, or the name of an effect?

Georgette fabric is a woven silk material that is translucent, has a slightly puckered surface, and a lovely drape. It is a member of the crêpe family of fashion fabrics. At the start of the 20th century, France was the first country to use silk crêpe fabric. Since then, it has established itself as an essential element of high fashion, especially in the evening and bridal attire.
