Chiffon is a light and translucent, very well draping and flowing fabric. Chiffon is usually made of silk or polyester or other synthetic materials, and itâs often used in lighter and finer shirts, blouses and dresses. Chiffon is quite a challenging material to sew, as it is very light and thin. The thinner the chiffon, the harder it is to maneuver.
