Chiffon Fabric Bordeaux

Chiffon Fabric Bordeaux

This chiffon comes in a deep, wine-toned Bordeaux that photographs almost like folded rose petals, rich and moody with a soft sheen catching the light along every fold. The weave is fine and airy, and when you gather or twist it the fabric holds soft, rounded curves rather than sharp creases, showing off that fluid drape chiffon is known for. It has a matte-to-soft-sheen finish that reads elegant without being flashy, making it a lovely pick whenever you want a touch of drama in a garment or accessory.

What kind of material is this

This chiffon is woven from polyester using a plain weave, which gives it that characteristic slightly crisp yet floaty hand feel. Being a synthetic fibre, it is more forgiving than silk chiffon: it resists wrinkling reasonably well, holds its colour, and is easier to wash and care for at home. The fabric is ultra light weight and highly breathable, so it moves with the body and drapes rather than clings. Its semi-transparent quality is part of its charm, ideal for layering, lining a bodice, or adding sheer detail to a design where you want a hint of what is underneath.

Applications and projects

Thanks to its softness and drape, this chiffon fabric works across a wide range of projects, from formal wear to home decor accents. It is a favourite for anyone sewing occasion pieces where movement and a bit of shimmer matter.

• Evening dresses and gowns
• Blouses and tunics with a fluid silhouette
• Bridal wear, veils and overlays
• Scarves and headscarves
