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 off-white 100% silk georgette crepe will be perfect for making blouses, dresses as well as for creating accessories.
Crepe made in France.
