A sheer, lightweight crepe fabric with a slightly rough texture created by highly twisted yarns. It has excellent drape and is commonly used for blouses, scarves, and flowing garments that require both transparency and body.
Named after French dressmaker Georgette de la Plante, who popularized this fabric in the early 20th century. The weaving technique combines the transparency of chiffon with the texture of crepe through specialized yarn twisting.
