If you have booked a holiday for the summer and haven't been away for it yet, you may still have time to make yourself a new outfit to take away with you. Most of us will go out in the evening for a restaurant meal at least once on holiday so it is always nice to have a new outfit for the occasion to make you feel extra special. Chiffon Dress Fabric is a beautiful fabric to use for this. It is lightweight so would be cool if you are in a hot climate but also has a feel of elegance and glamour which will make you feel like you have dressed up for an occasion. Chiffon Dress Fabric is a sheer fabric which means that you would usually need a lining underneath the fabric however if you use several layers of the fabric you may not need to use a lining depending on how sheer you want your outfit to be. Chiffon Fabric can be used to create floaty skirts both long and short for daytime or evening and due to the lightweight nature of the fabric it will not be too hot to wear in the summer sun. When you are on holiday, most people will visit the beach and will be wearing swimming costumes or bikinis at some point. Restaurants and shops alongside the beach do not always like people just to wear this attire when they visit them. Using Chiffon Dress Fabric you could create a simple sundress or kimono style top that could be work over your beachwear to cover up slightly. Obviously as Chiffon is a see-through fabric you will still be able to see the beachwear underneath but with a couple of layers, it will make your outfit less revealing to visit the tourist shops and cafes. The Chiffon Dress Fabric we stock at Calico Laine is 100% polyester and can be hand washed or washed in the machine on a cool wash. It is ideal for taking on holiday as it doesn't weigh much in your suitcase and can be washed easily in a bathroom sink. It will dry quickly and can be drip dried so you don't need to worry about washing it and then waiting for days for it to dry. Simply wash it before you go out for the day and it will be ready to wear in the evening.
