What is Silk Georgette Fabric?


Fabric Weave: Plain weave

        Silk georgette fabric features a subtly crinkled surface, a characteristic sand grain texture, and a lightweight, sheer quality. It has excellent drape and elasticity.

Characteristics of Silk Georgette Fabric

  • Texture: Typically made from highly twisted yarns combined with a specific weave structure. The warp and weft density are tight, causing the fabric to shrink after scouring and dyeing, resulting in a fine, even crinkle and noticeable sand holes. The fabric is lightweight and airy with excellent drape.
  • Width: Available in 90cm, 114cm, and 140cm.
  • Thickness: Available in various weights, including 8 momme, 10 momme, 12 momme, 14 momme, heavy georgette (16 momme, 19 momme, 22 momme, 25 momme).

Transparency and Weight

  • 8-14 Momme: Transparent and semi-transparent.
  • Heavy Georgette: Opaque, drapes well, resistant to wrinkling, and easy to care for.

Main Uses of Georgette

      Silk georgette is ideal for making scarves, particularly the 8 momme georgette, which is perfect for silk scarves due to its light and airy quality. It can also be used for garments, but typically requires double layers or a lining due to its sheer nature. Georgette is also suitable for making long dresses.

Shrinkage Rate

        Due to the highly twisted yarns, georgette has a high shrinkage rate, which can reach up to 10%, and in some cases, even 12%.

       We have many colors in stock for the 8 momme georgette.
