g/ml or g/m²: how to convert a fabric’s weight
g/ml tells you what the metre you buy weighs, g/m² what the fabric itself weighs. The formula, a table by width, and when to look at which.
Silk georgette is a fabric that falls between crepe and chiffon. It combines the suppleness and transparency of chiffon (although it is heavier) as well as the grainy appearance of crepe.
This pure purple 100% silk georgette crepe will be perfect for making blouses, dresses as well as for creating accessories.
Crepe made in Italy.
