What is Chiffon fabric, and how should it be maintained?

Short answer

Chiffon is a lightweight, sheer, balanced plain-weave fabric woven with high-twist crepe yarns, giving it a slightly rough, puckered hand-feel and delicate drape.

Widely traded across Surat saree markets; requires dry cleaning or gentle hand washing to prevent thread pulling.
