Georgette (from crêpe Georgette) is a sheer, lightweight, dull-finished crêpe fabric named after the early 20th century French dressmaker Georgette de la Plante.[1][2]

Originally made from silk, Georgette is made with highly twisted yarns. Its characteristic crinkly surface is created by alternating S- and Z-twist yarns in both warp and weft.[1][3]

Georgette is made in solid colors and prints and is used for blouses, dresses, evening gowns, saris, and trimmings.[1] It is springier and less lustrous than the closely related chiffon.[3]
