Chiffon
shawls give a delicate touch of elegance and glamor to the look and are
extremely popular as well. These shawls are typically known to give
definition to the body as they outline and flatter the figure. These
silhouette style dresses give a feminine flare to the evening and
chiffon shawl with floral embroidery and beaded fringes are extremely
popular among the females. A chiffon shawl is perfect for summer and can
also be worn over heavy warm clothes in the winter.
Fabrics
Chiffon is a fine, semi-sheer fabric that has a heavier feel than our
tulle and drapes beautifully. Chiffon is elegant and sheer, with a very
slightly rough feel to it. Chiffon is lightweight (Chiffon is French for
'Rag'), but strong. Chiffon is softer and thinner than Georgette,
sometimes called 'Crepe Chiffon'. Georgette is made like chiffon, but a
two or three ply yarn is used.
Designs & Motifs
Chiffon shawls are sometimes plan with a beaded or fringe edge or
decorated with beads. Embroidered shawls may be embroidered with the
same color thread as the fabric or with bright contrasting threads. As
far as the different style prints are considered, bold graphics that
include flowers of all shapes and sizes, circular patterns and geometric
shapes are highly preferred. These are also transformed into an
un-forgetful piece with the help of applique, beads, or sequins.
