| What it is | Chiffon is a light, sheer woven, often in silk or polyester. | See the satin fabric notes, not a synonym swap. |
| Feel | Airy and slightly grainy. It floats rather than hangs like satin. | Judge the peer on its own sample. |
| Mass | Almost always light. Do not treat it as a lining-weight cloth. | Do not copy a GSM from one family to the other. |
| Typical use | Evening dresses, overlays, blouses, and scarves. | Match the peer to its own end use. |
| Watch-out | Snags, seam slippage, and show-through. It needs careful cutting. | The peer has its own limits. Read them. |
