Chiffon - What’s all about…

After satin, another major material adopted by fashion designers in the design of high class fashion is Chiffon. Chiffon is originated from the French word for cloth which has reflected its importance in fashion history.

Chiffon is a lightweight, balanced plain-woven sheer fabric. Chiffon can be made from cotton, silk or synthetic fibers, but is usually associated with silk or nylon. Chiffon can be dyed to almost any shade desired, however if made from polyester it is difficult to dye. Chiffon is a good companion with satin as both are light weight and give a feeling of elegant and floating by overlaying each other. Therefore it is a popular fabric used in evening wear such as gowns, blouses, ribbons, scarves and lingerie. Like other crepe fabrics, chiffon can be difficult to work with because of its light and slippery textures. Due to this delicate nature, chiffon must be hand washed very gently.
Most chiffon nowadays is made from polyester (for stain resistance). Silk chiffon is regarded as the premium type of chiffon. It is dry cleanable and does not suffer from the same level of degradation and tearing as polyester chiffon.
Chiffon is quite the rage on the international fashion scene. In India it remains an eternal favorite.
You can go for fabric like jutes, silks and linen in shades of pastels and creams for the morning and darker shades of wines and blacks for the evenings. Kurta pyjamas truly represent the ultimate conventional ethnic fashion attire.
Nowadays, there are various pre wedding functions. Varieties of alluring Indian wedding dresses are available in the market. Grooms wear different kinds of clothes on their wedding. Like, on your engagement you can opt for an Indo-Western styled suit comprising of a Bandh Gala jacket with pants and an inner vest in contrasting brocade. Different colours are in vogue in different season but you should go for colours that suit your complexion. Indian suits are a fusion of rare fabrics and western style with an Indian touch.
The Sherwani is a typical attire for the men, which signifies elegance and style. It is the most traditional Indian garment, which look fine on tall and well-built people. Worn with tight fit churidar or trousers in contrasting colours with scarf or shawl draped over one or both shoulders, they give a regal and graceful look. They are the perfect attire for the wedding.
Traditionally, the sherwanis worn are off-white. But other colours are also worn these days are like black and other darker shades. The groom's sherwani is incomplete without the ghatcholas, flowing kurtas with churidars and jooties or Indian sandals. For your reception party you can pick regular three-piece suit for a formal Indo-western look. Go for stylish colours like shades of copper, grey, navy blue or any other.
