While it is always important to check the information available on a clothing label, you do not have to look at it to identify a chiffon piece. ? Its uneven surface and the rough touch, added to the light trim, are facilitators of identification ?, highlights Andressa Caroline Sassarão Gonçalves, fashion professor at Senac Americana.
The professional explains that chiffon is a thin fabric, light and with some transparency. It is made of natural fibers such as silk, or synthetic fibers such as polyester. In addition, it also has uneven surface and rough touch, which are striking features of the fabric ?, says.
Chiffon clothes
With transparency on the rise in the latest seasons / collections, the chiffon has gained prominence both in dresses and skirts, and in shirts and blouses. Andressa also points out that it is widely used in party dresses, which require elegance and femininity.
Because it is a thin fabric with movement and transparency, the skirts and dresses should be worn with a lining in another fabric. Chiffon characteristics are also appropriate for strategic volumes or layers. In some cases, the lining may even be discarded (only in case of tops, ie tops), as the layers or volumes themselves will be in charge of? Covering? transparency? says the professional.
? The fabric also leaves the possibility of overlapping with other pieces, such as a tank top, and even a very elegant bra, worn, of course, with common sense, analyzing the model and event where you want to wear the piece, to make the look not vulgar ?, he adds.

Advantages of the fabric
Andressa Gonçalves explains that due to today's technology, chiffon, when made of synthetic fiber, transmits a pleasant thermal sensation in contact with the body and avoids odors. "In the case of natural fiber such as silk, the feeling of touch, trim and comfort is even more pleasant," he says.
In addition, highlights the professional, chiffon does not usually knead easily. Thus, it is a great option for people who travel frequently, for example.
How to care for a chiffon piece?
As with all chiffon-like garments, care is taken especially when washing and ironing. Do not soak, wash or tumble dry. When washing by hand, do not rub too much. Dry in the shade ?, explains Andressa.
In the case of polyester chiffon, iron on the silk scale and for greater care, use a towel on top. In the case of silk chiffon, the best option is to dry clean in a laundry ?, adds the professional.
Taking good care of the clothes, the chiffon pieces become great allies, whether for your day to day or travel, or for special occasions.
