Fabric That Prints Well and Drapes Better
Silk georgette is one of the most print-friendly sheer fabrics. The grainy, crinkled surface holds dye well, and the semi-transparent quality gives printed designs a soft, layered look — almost like watercolor on fabric. We offer both digital printing (low MOQ, high detail) and screen printing (bulk volume, bold color). The matte finish means prints sit on the fabric without the reflective glare you get with satin, which makes georgette a strong choice for floral patterns and multi-color designs.

Single Georgette vs Double Georgette — Pick the Right One
Standard silk georgette (6–12mm) is lightweight and sheer. It's best for overlays, scarves, and airy garments where transparency is part of the design. Silk double georgette (16–18mm) is woven with a denser construction that gives more body and opacity. It works for standalone garments — blouses, dresses, formal wear — where you want the georgette texture without the see-through quality. If you're not sure which one fits your product, request sample swatches of both and compare side by side.

Quality You Can Check Before Committing
All our silk georgette is woven from Grade 6A mulberry silk and carries OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification. We offer free fabric sample packs — you can feel the hand, check the weight, test the drape, and evaluate the color before placing a production order. For printed georgette, we provide print strike-offs so you can approve the design on actual fabric. No guesswork, no surprises.
Low MOQ for Testing and Small Runs
Stocked plain-color silk georgette starts at 50 meters MOQ. Custom dyeing requires 100–200 meters per color. Digital printing starts at 50 meters per design — no screen fees, no setup costs. This is designed for brands and startups that want to test a product or colorway before scaling up. If your order grows, wholesale pricing tiers bring the per-meter cost down.

FAQ
For stocked plain-color silk georgette, MOQ starts at 50 meters. Custom dyeing requires 100–200 meters per color. Digital printing starts at 50 meters per design with no screen fees. Screen printing requires 300+ meters due to setup costs. Contact us with your specific requirement and we'll confirm the exact minimum.
Yes. We provide free fabric sample packs with swatches of different momme weights and types (single georgette, double georgette, crinkle georgette). You pay only a small shipping fee. For custom color or print samples, we can arrange a lab dip or print strike-off before bulk production so you can verify everything on actual fabric.
Both are lightweight, semi-sheer silk fabrics woven with twisted yarns. The main difference is texture and weight. Silk georgette has a slightly grainy, crinkled surface and a matte finish. It's heavier than chiffon and has more body. Silk chiffon is smoother, more transparent, and has a softer, floatier drape. Georgette is more durable and easier to handle in production; chiffon is more delicate and prone to snagging. For a full comparison, see our article Silk Georgette vs Chiffon vs Crepe de Chine.
Yes. We manufacture silk double georgette in 16mm and 18mm. Double georgette is woven with a denser yarn construction that gives it more weight, body, and opacity than standard single georgette. It keeps the characteristic crinkled texture and matte finish but works better for standalone garments that need coverage without a lining. We also offer stretch double georgette (92% silk / 8% spandex) for body-contouring designs. See Types of Silk Georgette Fabric for a full breakdown.
Stocked plain-color silk georgette ships within 3–5 business days. Custom-dyed orders take 10–15 days. Custom-printed orders take 12–20 days depending on design complexity and quantity. Rush orders are possible — contact us to discuss your deadline.
Yes, but it depends on the momme weight. Lightweight georgette (6–10mm) naturally allows good ink penetration from front to back. For heavier georgette (12mm+) or double georgette, a dedicated double-sided printing process is recommended if you need equal color intensity on both sides. We can advise the best approach based on your specific design and fabric weight. More details in Printing on Silk Georgette Fabric.
For most dresses, 10–12mm single georgette works well if you plan to add a lining for opacity. For dresses that need to stand alone without a lining, 16–18mm double georgette gives enough coverage and body. Formal evening gowns often use 12mm single georgette layered for volume and flow. The right choice depends on your design — we can send samples of multiple weights so you can drape and compare.
Yes. All our silk georgette fabric is OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified, meaning it has been tested for harmful substances and is safe for direct skin contact. We also hold ISO 9001 quality management certification. All silk is Grade 6A mulberry silk. Certificates are available on request.
Silk Georgette Fabric — A Manufacturer's Guide to Properties, Types, and Selection
What Is Silk Georgette Fabric?
Silk georgette is a lightweight, semi-sheer fabric with a matte finish and a distinctive crinkled texture. It belongs to the crêpe family of silk fabrics. The fabric is woven using highly twisted yarns — alternating S-twist (counter-clockwise) and Z-twist (clockwise) — in both the warp and weft. This opposing twist creates tension in the finished fabric, producing the grainy, slightly puckered surface that defines georgette.
The name comes from French dressmaker Georgette de la Plante, who introduced the fabric in the early 1900s. Originally made exclusively from silk, georgette is now also produced from polyester and other synthetics. But for B2B buyers sourcing premium fabric, pure silk georgette remains the standard for quality, breathability, and print performance. For more on the history, fiber properties, and weave structure, see our full article What Is Silk Georgette Fabric.
Georgette Crepe — Understanding the Relationship
You'll often see the term "georgette crepe" used in fabric sourcing. This refers to the same fabric — georgette is a subtype of crêpe, defined by its specific weaving method using high-twist yarns. In industry usage, "silk georgette," "georgette silk," and "georgette crepe" all describe this crinkled, matte, semi-sheer fabric. The terms are interchangeable when referring to 100% silk construction.
Where it gets more specific is with subtypes like crinkle georgette (enhanced texture through additional twisting) and silk georgette crepe (sometimes used to describe a slightly heavier variant with more pronounced surface texture). If you're comparing quotes from different suppliers, always confirm the momme weight and composition rather than relying on the name alone.
How Silk Georgette Compares to Similar Fabrics
Georgette is frequently compared with chiffon and crepe de chine — all three are lightweight silk fabrics used in similar applications. The key differences come down to texture, weight, and sheen:
| Silk Georgette | Silk Chiffon | Silk Crepe de Chine | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Surface | Grainy, crinkled, matte | Smooth, net-like, slightly glossy | Pebbly, subtle crepe texture |
| Transparency | Semi-sheer | Very sheer | Semi-opaque |
| Weight | Slightly heavier than chiffon | Lightest of the three | Medium weight |
| Drape | Flowing with body | Extremely fluid, floaty | Soft, flowing, more substance |
| Durability | Good — more tear-resistant | Fragile — snags easily | Good — moderate strength |
| Sheen | Dull, matte | Slight natural sheen | Gentle pearl-like luster |
| Sewing Difficulty | Moderate — grainy surface helps grip | High — slippery and shifts easily | Moderate — manageable weight |
| Best For | Dresses, overlays, evening gowns, sarees | Veils, layering, delicate scarves | Blouses, dresses, everyday garments |

Types of Silk Georgette
Silk georgette comes in several variants. The main ones you'll encounter in B2B sourcing:
- Standard (single) georgette: 6–12mm, semi-sheer, lightweight. The most common type used for overlays, scarves, and layered garments.
- Double georgette: 16–18mm, denser weave, more opacity and body. Suitable for standalone garments — blouses, dresses, and formal wear that don't require a separate lining.
- Crinkle georgette: Enhanced crinkled texture from extra-high yarn twist. Adds visual depth and tactile interest. Popular for textured design details.
- Stretch georgette: Silk blended with 8–10% spandex. Adds elasticity for fitted garments and comfortable movement. Available in both single and double georgette weights.
- Satin georgette: A hybrid with a satin weave on one side and a georgette texture on the other. The satin face adds subtle sheen while the back retains the matte crepe finish.
We cover each type in detail — including momme ranges and best-use applications — in Types of Silk Georgette Fabric.
Silk Georgette Fabric Price — What Affects Cost
Silk georgette fabric price varies based on several factors:
- Momme weight: Higher momme = more silk per meter = higher cost. An 18mm double georgette will cost more than an 8mm single georgette.
- Composition: 100% mulberry silk costs more than polyester georgette or silk blends. Stretch georgette (silk + spandex) sits in between.
- Silk grade: Grade 6A silk produces smoother yarn and better dye absorption. Lower grades are cheaper but show more irregularities.
- Processing: Undyed (greige) is the lowest cost. Plain dyeing adds a processing fee per color. Custom printing adds further cost based on the method (digital vs screen) and design complexity.
- Order volume: Per-meter price drops with larger orders. Wholesale tiers typically start at 200–500 meters.

Applications
Silk georgette fabric is used across a wide range of product categories:
- Dresses and evening gowns: The flowing drape and semi-sheer quality make georgette a go-to for formal and occasion wear. It layers well for volume without adding bulk.
- Bridal wear: Veils, overlay layers, and full bridal gowns. Lightweight enough to layer without weight, elegant enough for the occasion.
- Blouses and tops: Double georgette (16–18mm) gives enough body for standalone blouses with a refined, professional look.
- Scarves and wraps: 8–10mm georgette creates airy, textured scarves with more body than chiffon.
- Sarees: Silk georgette is one of the most popular saree fabrics — it layers, drapes, and holds embroidery well.
- Home décor: Sheer curtains, table decorations, and decorative overlays for events.

Care and Handling
Silk georgette requires careful handling due to its lightweight and delicate structure:
- Hand wash in cold water (below 30°C) with silk-specific detergent. Do not wring or twist.
- Dry flat in shade or hang dry away from direct sunlight.
- Iron on low heat with a pressing cloth. Steam works well to remove wrinkles without direct contact.
- Dry cleaning is the safest option for embellished or printed georgette.
- Store hanging rather than folded to prevent crease lines. Use breathable garment bags for protection.
- Pre-shrinkage: silk georgette typically shrinks 5–8% after first wash. We offer pre-shrinking service to reduce this to 3% or less.

Sewing Tips for Silk Georgette
Georgette can be challenging to sew due to its lightweight, slippery nature. A few practical tips from our production team:
- Use sharp microtex or silk-specific needles (size 60/8 or 70/10) to minimize puncture marks.
- Reduce presser foot pressure to prevent the fabric from shifting under the machine.
- Place tissue paper or stabilizer beneath the fabric when cutting — this stops the layers from sliding.
- Use French seams or narrow rolled hems to enclose raw edges. Georgette does fray, though less aggressively than chiffon.
- Pin within seam allowances only — pin holes can be visible on sheer fabric.
