Charleston Chiffon Black

Charleston Chiffon Black is an elegant addition to your handmade wardrobe. This subtly semi-transparent chiffon has a refined crepe weave and a plain black base. Along one selvedge runs a playful, distinctive design of small loops in the lengthwise direction. At 140 cm wide and 120 grams per metre, this non-stretch dressmaking fabric in 100% polyester feels light and airy, yet still beautifully refined for special sewing projects.

Sew black chiffon crepe beautifully

The fine texture and transparent weave make this fabric by the metre a joy to work with for elegant makes. TVI softness: 4/5. That means it drapes beautifully and is ideal for flowing styles with plenty of movement, gathers or pleats. As the decorative edge runs discreetly לאורך the length, we recommend ordering a little extra so you can cut across the width if needed and make the most of the looped finish.

Whether you want to sew a smart blouse for work or sophisticated eveningwear for a special occasion, this cotton fabric? No — this is a lightweight polyester chiffon that opens up many possibilities. Make an airy dress, a feminine overdress, an elegant skirt with movement, or a softly falling tunic. It also works well for a light top. Choose the right haberdashery and finish your garment neatly and professionally.
