Chiffon

When it comes to chiffon fabric in Australia, Super Cheap Fabrics is where thousands of sewists come first. We sell over 20,000 metres of chiffon every three months - not because we stock it, but because our customers keep coming back for it. Lightweight, impossibly fluid and endlessly versatile, our chiffon range covers everything from fine occasionwear to everyday wearable art. Browse our full selection across Hi-Multi Chiffon, Printed Chiffon and Textured Chiffon - three distinct collections built around how real makers actually sew.

Three Chiffon Collections, One Standard of Quality

Our Hi-Multi Chiffon is a customer favourite for good reason - it carries colour beautifully, drapes with a fluidity that photographs stunningly, and holds up through wear in a way that cheaper chiffon simply does not. Printed Chiffon brings that same quality base cloth to life with patterns ranging from delicate florals to bold abstract prints, ready to cut and sew straight off the roll. Textured Chiffon adds crinkle and dimension for makers who want something a step beyond the expected - it hides handling marks, sews forgivingly, and finishes with a lived-in elegance that plain chiffon cannot replicate. Every metre across all three collections is chosen to perform, not just to look good on a shelf.

What You Can Make With Chiffon

Wrap dresses, gathered maxi skirts, kaftans, floaty blouses, sheer overlays, bridal separates, resort sets, scarves and lined evening gowns - chiffon fabric adapts to all of it. Layer it over a base fabric for dimension, line it when you need opacity, or let it float free for that signature gossamer effect. Our customers have used these exact fabrics for bridal parties, runway pieces, market stalls and everyday wardrobe staples. With over 20,000 metres sold every quarter, the proof is in what people are actually making.

FAQ

• What is the difference between Hi-Multi Chiffon and regular chiffon?
  Hi-Multi Chiffon uses a higher filament count yarn, which gives it a smoother, more lustrous surface and a richer drape compared to standard chiffon. It is the go-to choice when fabric quality is front and centre in the finished piece.
• What is the difference between textured chiffon and regular chiffon?
  Textured chiffon has deliberate crinkle or raised detail woven into the fabric, adding dimension and making it more forgiving to cut and sew. Regular chiffon is smooth with a classic, fluid drape.
• Do I need special tools to sew chiffon?
  A fine needle (size 9 or 11), lightweight polyester thread and slightly reduced machine tension will get you clean, professional results. Pinning through tissue paper or using a walking foot also helps with slippage.
• Is printed chiffon see-through?
  Most chiffon is naturally sheer. Printed chiffon offers slightly more visual coverage due to its colours and patterns, but a lining is still recommended for structured garments.
