Chiffon, which is a French word for rag, is a lightweight sheer material with a slightly rough feel to it. It can be made from cotton, silk or synthetic fibers, but is usually associated with silk or nylon and can be dyed to almost any shade desired. If made from Polyester, it is difficult to dye. Under a magnifying glass it resembles a fine net or mesh which allows chiffon to have this see-through property.

Chiffon is most commonly used in evening wear, especially as an overlay, giving an elegant and floating appearance to the gown. It is also a popular fabric used in blouses, ribbons, scarves and lingerie. It is not, however, an easy fabric to work with because of its lightweight and slippery nature. Due to its delicate nature, chiffon must be hand washed very gently. It is very easy to tear inside a washing machine. A garment made of chiffon can rip apart while the wearer is sleeping in it. Most chiffon nowadays is made from polyester (for stain resistance) which is woven as a Stretch-knit fabric. Stretch-knit is a way of making non-stretchable fabrics stretch. However silk Chiffon is still regarded as the premiere type of Chiffon. It is dry cleanable and does not suffer from the same level of degradation and tearing as Polyester Chiffon. It is stocked as piece-dyed (all one colour) or cross-dyed (in iridescent colours) by a series of major textiles companies such as Henry Bertrand, Saris and Sfate et Combier.

Well thats the dictionary definition for the word.

I had to look it up doh! :shock:

Not sure what it means in a dream, but I thought I would offer some clarity as well as a thank you for being the first to use the advanced dream dictionary!

HI,

Thank you for the detailed explanation! I didn't think it could mean all that much ...

I think this has helped me to understand "chiffon" better as to why I may see this.

Thank you for your intepretation!

chiffon being a fabric, of which clothing is made.....I would associate the type of clothing that would be made from this fabric .........for me, I would associate beautiful and expensive: or beautiful attitudes, love, kindness,love,graciousness, compassion etc. it might also indicate a desire to show off, make an impression,or an exaggerated sense of self-worth, pretense, snobbery, lack of real warmth..........since the fabric texture is very thin (you can somewhat see through it) this could also indicate a film or veil being put between ourselves and our emotions or feelings......this type of fabric is also very light (in weight)
