Detail:
Silk Stretch Georgette is a slightly sheer, lightweight fabric most often used in eveningwear, lingerie, bridal/wedding, sportswear, and home decor. This fabric is like a slightly thicker, more opaque version of chiffon - it is much less sheer but is much more durable and possesses a beautiful flowing drape.The Spandex in the fabric makes for fitted evening wear possible. Georgette is ideal for special occasion tops, blouses, dresses/gowns, and skirts and has a stunning effect when cut on the bias. This is also a perfect warm-weather fabric, as the silk fibers have a natural absorbency. This fabric is available in a variety of colors.

Tips & Tricks:
If you're using Georgette for a tailored or heavily seamed garment, it's best to use an interfacing like silk organza or lightweight fusible knit interfacing
You can create volume in this very thin fabric by utilizing soft tucks, shirring, or sewing it with multiple layers
Fabric tends to move when laid out for cutting. Layer the fabric between two sheets of tissue thin paper before cutting to stabilize. Hold fabric in place using fabric weights or fine, sharp pins (like our extra fine pins). Keep cut fabric pieces pinned to tissue paper until right before you’re ready to sew
Hand-baste pattern pieces before sewing with a sharp, fine needle
Use tissue paper as backing when sewing seams together to help stabilize fabric – tear away once seam is secure
It’s best to only cut one layer at a time to avoid grain distortion.
Use a new, thin needle when sewing this fabric to avoid snags– especially when machine sewing
Use cotton, or cotton-covered polyester thread when sewing
Hold thread ends when beginning to avoid accidental shirring
The best finishes for georgette are French seams, or narrow (1/8" - 1/4") rolled hems
Care:
Hand washing may cause water spots, check a small piece to check. Dry clean recommended.
