Georgette Fabric

Georgette is a lightweight dull crepe fabric used for making evening wear including full-length dresses, blouses, and saris. The Georgette fabric gets its name from French dressmaker Georgette De La Plante who created dresses by twisting silk yarns to create a crinkly surface giving her dresses a unique look. Georgette isn’t the easiest fabric to use but it can make for some fantastic looking garments if used correctly. At Whaleys we stock 5 different georgette fabrics ranging in size and price.
