exactly, so if you want it to be silk, you have to say silk chiffon or you will get a synthetic mix one.
if you pick up a western dress in the UK that is chiffon, look at the label and it will most likely say ‘polyester’ - that is synthetic. very rarely do you find chiffon with a tag that specifies '100% silk".
the same goes for all over the world. if i want a silk based chiffon not a synthetic one, i have to ask for it.
you are right about crepe. but it’s the same with georgette which is a different fabric from chiffon. they are different things but because they are similar to chiffon, pakistani’s like to add the -chiffon to the end. but they do this for a reason, beacuse they want the crepe or georgette to be similar in look to regular chiffon. because again, there are different types of crepe and georgette and some are very different from chiffon fabrics i.e. more stiffness in the case of crepe.
it still doesn’t change the fact that there is more than one kind of chiffon. one will produce a flat feeling fabric one that produces crinkles.
so tell me, if i want a flat chiffon, without the crinkle, what do i call it? i can’t just call it chiffon because then i don’t know what i’m going to get!
people don’t bother to add the crinkle to chiffon jamawar because it only comes in the crinkle form.. therefore no need to specify.
keep trying to sell your products. but your clients will want to know how they can specify for different types of chiffon fabric but it seems that you only use one kind.
