Georgette Fabric
The sheer, airy, dull-finished crepe fabric known as Georgette was named for the French dressmaker Georgette de la Plante, who worked in the early 20th century. High-twist yarns are used to make georgette. Blouses, dresses, evening gowns, saris, and embellishments are created from georgette, which is produced in both solid colours and designs. Georgette made of silk is rather fragile, although versions made of synthetic fibres may be more resistant to tearing.
