Georgette is one of the popular fabrics opted by many these days. But first let’s discuss what georgette fabric is- it is a crinkly, sheer crape fabric that is both drapable and soft to touch. The pebbly appearance on georgette is owing to the slightly twisted yarn it is made of. The sad part about this using this material is that it stretches and wrinkles easily, which causes damage to your outfit and can fray it badly. In comparison to chiffon it is more durable but cannot be easily sewn easily like organza.
