Georgette is a lightweight fabric introduced by French designer Madame de la Plante. This sheer fabric is mostly made of silk but now we can see the use of polyester, viscose, jacquard, nylon and satin material to produce fine georgette fabrics. Highly twisted yarns are applied to create the crinkly texture. Its strong absorbent quality makes it easy to dye.

Printed Georgette with heavy border work is designed for Indian divas to keep them in sync with latest fashion. They feel comfortable in it as its flowing material doesn’t demand constant attention like cotton and silk fabric.
