However, heavy plain crepe satin does not have this problem. It has a soft luster, thick and crisp feel, and is not easy to deform, snag, or wrinkle.

In fact, there are many specifications for Georgette crepe, which mainly depends on the thickness of the mulberry silk raw material, the number of threads combined, the twist and the warp and weft density. Therefore, the thickness of ordinary georgette is different. The common ones are 4.5 mm and 12 mm. The arrangement of warp and weft is not discussed here. Personally, I prefer Chongqiao, which is opaque, smooth, not easy to wrinkle, and easy to take care of.
