Silk Chiffon is a thin woven fabric. Chiffon is cloth, unlike illusion it doesn’t have holes like a netting, so it is opaque. You can only see a shadowy vision of what’s underneath it, it’s not transparent. Chiffon is heavier than illusion, so chiffon veils are not fluffy. A chiffon veil will hang straight down flowing softly.

- 100% Silk, do not get it wet
- Silk like texture, not as smooth as polyester chiffon
- Opaque, slightly less opaque than polyester chiffon
- A narrow fabric, only 42 inches wide
