georgette
Lightweight silk fabric
Georgette is a sheer, lightweight fabric with a slightly crinkled texture, typically made from silk or synthetic fibers.
It drapes well and is used for blouses, dresses, and scarves: a flowing georgette gown.
The fabric is similar to chiffon but has a more matte finish and firmer body.
