I am buying chiffon fabric as a gift how much should i get? how much lining?
Q. I am buying some silk chiffon fabric as a gift for a 2nd year fashion design student how many yards should i get so she can make a dress or something nice and since its a sheer fabric how much lining should i get? do i even need lining? is there anything else i need?

A. 4 yards is a good amount. Chiffon will have to go over an actual garment fabric, so you could go with a nice matching satin. .

A. That was probably hemmed with a serger rolled hem, or with a three thread overlock, See: (drop down to May 8, 2007) Personally, I find it just about as fast to roll hem by hand as it is for me to set up a machine... put an old movie on the tv and the hem is done by the time the movie's over. Use silk thread for easiest hemming. And then there are baby hems done on a sewing machine: Chiffon is a slippery character to work with, particularly if you're dealing with something like a circular skirt, where you'll have every possible grainline, It's almost impossible to hem absolutely evenly, but the effect should be nice -- even if not perfect.

What is a good, moderately stiff fabric I can line my chiffon dress with?
Q. I purchased a few yards of polyester chiffon and am planning to make a flowy dress with it. Although I want it to be very free-moving and sheer, I want the bust to be slightly stiffer so it can support the breasts. When I say stiff, I don't mean heavy fabrics like denim and etc. I'm looking for fabric that is feminine and would look good with a chiffon overlay. Do any of you guys have recommendations/suggestio ns/tips? All would be greatly appreciated.

A. If this is going to be strapless, you need something like coutil for underlining the bodice. And you're going to need boning and an inner waist belt besides. A good place to look for construction information is Susan Khalje's Bridal Couture. Also:

Set in wrinkles in chiffon?
Q. I ordered a dress and there is no time to exchange it at this point. The dress has wrinkles that seem to be set into the chiffon fabric. I have used an iron, I have used a Tobi steamer, I have even washed the thing. Is there anything that will relax this fabric?
Asked by Mrs_O - Wed Jul 22 15:55:06 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Maybe the wrinkles are supposed to be there? Put the dress on a hanger and hang it up at eye level then step back and look at the dress from about ten feet...the wrinkles look way out of place...or do they kinda flow with the design? Sounds like you have done all that you can to get them out other than taking them to a dry cleaner and having them professionally pressed out...then you take a risk of having the dress ruined. If you don't take it to an outfit that is accustomed to working with chiffon...it will get ruined.

I am sewing a bias cut A-line skirt and the side seams are not hanging flat and smooth ?

What can I do to straighten out the seams, it seems like the further down the 'A-line' the bigger the problem.

A. Chiffon has quite a loose weave. It is also very light. You need to sew it using a fine seam that is self-finished, rather than an open seam, so that the seam allowances don't show. Because it will fray easily, you need to do this as soon as possible after the first fitting. For the first fitting, baste the seams with a small hand stitch in fine silk thread. Baste seams from top to bottom, and leave the bottom end unfinished, with a good 12" tail. Let the garment hang for a few days before trying it on... This is especially important for bias cut garments. When you cut on th bias, unless you cut the pieces correctly, the fabric will 'corkscrew' round the body. Is this what is happening? If so, you need to re-cut the front or back… [cont.]

A. Well, please don't take offense, but I think you're confusing making it a classy party with making it a potentially overly-seductive-sexual atmosphere. The fact that it's an adult toy party kind of needs to be offset by something other than romantic, sensual lighting and decorations in order to keep your guests comfortable. You can still have a classy party, but think champagne, appetizers, and tame party games rather than candles and feathers. Just my opinion as a woman.

Aging men wear rayon type shirts. Chiffon is popular among young women, as is lace and lots of things that "sparkle." Glitter, rhinestones, sequins, lace, chiffon, etc. seem to adorn even the most everyday type clothing.

If not: If you've got a serger, set up for a rolled hem or a narrow three thread overlock and get it done rapidimente : If you want to take it slow and easy, you can roll hem by hand -- put on an old movie and start rolling and whipping down the hem: If you've got a sewing machine handy, for costume purposes, you can probably just zigzag the edges of the chiffon, letting the zig fall off the edge of the fabric. Play with the thread tension, and you'll get a pretty good looking rolled hem that won't be couture, but sure is fast.

Q. My mom can't find a mother's dress that she likes. There is only 4 months to my sister's wedding and my mom keeps picking out cheap church dresses that are too informal for my sister's black and white nighttime wedding. I want my mom to stand out but feel comfortable. This is her oldest daughter's wedding, I want her to look and feel her best.

What type of fabric should I use for a goddess-like dress?
Q. I have to dress up as a Siren for a Greek festival at my school. I sew and want to make a pretty and elegant white dress. They're half-bird half-woman creatures, although some sources say they were just beautiful women. I'm thinking a sheer chiffon over some other thicker material... I don't know if it should be shiny like crepe or just jersey material.

A. Linen or wool would be period. A good grade of cotton muslin could substitute. Chiffon, fwiw, is a pain to work with, both cutting and sewing. If you insist, it really needs to be cut on paper For ease of sewing, I'd use a lightweight stable knit that drapes well. You can save a lot of hemming that way, too, on a costume. 's Dress
