Chiffon....

Chiffon has at its roots a number of meanings;
French chiffe : rag; Arabic shiff : sheer; Middle English chippe : chip,shard,fragment.

I have been using it as an alternative fabric to silk organza for the past couple of weeks. Its frail, limpid, translucent qualities are highly evocative and sensuous.

The final results a betrayal of its fragility.
