Chiffon Rayon Emprime Fabric
Chiffon Rayon Emprime Fabric is a Türkiye-made 100% rayon printed fabric with a light 100 GSM weight, 145 cm width and soft, airy drape. The surface is printed in Emprime style, giving dressmakers graphic and floral print options without the weight of structured jacquard or satin fabrics.
This lightweight semi-sheer fabric is best used for lined dresses, kaftans, blouses, soft skirts, overlay layers, resort pieces, summer occasionwear and fluid modestwear where movement matters more than structure.
Order a swatch first if opacity, lining, colour matching or production consistency matters. Test washing, steaming, pressing and seam handling before cutting the final garment.

What buyers ask before ordering
What is Chiffon Rayon Emprime Fabric used for?
It is used for lightweight dresses, blouses, soft skirts, kaftans, overlay layers, resort pieces and fluid occasionwear where the garment needs airy movement rather than firm structure.
Is this chiffon rayon fabric sheer?
Yes. It is listed as semi-sheer, so lining or an underlayer is recommended when full coverage is needed, especially for white colorways or fitted garments.
What does Emprime mean on this product?
Emprime means the pattern is printed onto the rayon fabric surface rather than woven in as a jacquard motif.
What is the composition of this fabric?
This product is 100% rayon, 100 GSM and 145 cm wide.
Does this fabric stretch?
No. It is a non-stretch woven fabric, so choose patterns with suitable ease, closures or loose drape.
Which design numbers are available?
The stored design directions are D#2112 and D#2119. D#2112 is the graphic print direction, while D#2119 is the larger flower print direction.
Which colors are available?
The product includes black, white, navy blue and brown colorways across the graphic and large flower print groups. Check the selected variant because not every color appears in both designs.
Is 100 GSM too light for a dress?
100 GSM is very lightweight. It can work for lined or loose dresses, kaftans, blouses and overlay layers, but it is not intended for structured tailoring.
Is this good for warm-weather garments?
Yes. The lightweight rayon profile suits warm-weather layering and loose silhouettes, with comfort depending on lining choice, garment fullness and humidity.
How does this compare with woven jacquard?
Woven jacquard creates pattern through the weave and usually has more body. This Emprime fabric is printed, lighter and softer, making it better for fluid printed garments.
Can I use it as an overlay fabric?
Yes. Because it is lightweight and semi-sheer, it works well as an overlay layer when paired with a suitable underlayer or lining.
Can boutiques use this for small production?
Yes. It is sold by the meter with swatch and wholesale options, and 25 meters is used for wholesale planning.
What should I test before cutting?
Test opacity, seams, hems, pressing, lining and drape on a swatch before cutting the final garment.
How should I cut this lightweight fabric?
Let the fabric relax flat, use sharp scissors or a rotary cutter, and avoid pulling it off grain while laying out the pattern.
What search terms match this fabric?
Search for printed rayon chiffon fabric, chiffon rayon Emprime fabric, lightweight printed dress fabric, or add the selected color and print style.
Before cutting or sewing this lightweight rayon chiffon emprime, test a swatch for washing, steaming, pressing, colour handling and shrinkage. The fabric is airy and semi-sheer, so check opacity, lining and print placement before production.
- Test first Test a small piece before washing, steaming, pressing or cutting the full fabric.
- Opacity Check the selected colourway over the intended lining or underlayer, especially for dress, blouse and overlay styles.
- Wash Use cold gentle handling or dry clean if you want the safest route for the finished garment.
- Dry Do not tumble dry. Air dry gently in shade and avoid strong wringing or twisting.
- Iron Press from the reverse side on low heat with a pressing cloth.
- Cutting Let the fabric relax flat before cutting and use extra care because lightweight chiffon can shift.
General care guidance only. Results may vary by colour, print, steam, water quality, lining and garment construction.
Compare to Synthetic chiffon or georgette

This fabric is better when
- Rayon gives a softer, more fluid hand for printed dresses, kaftans and blouses.
- The printed Empirme surface gives ready-made visual interest without needing embroidery or jacquard texture.
- The 100 GSM weight keeps the fabric light while still useful for lined garments and soft layers.
Synthetic chiffon or georgette is better when
- Synthetic chiffon can be better for maximum sheer float and crease resistance.
- Choose georgette when the project needs a grainier texture and slightly drier handle.
Compare to Heavier printed rayon fabric

This fabric is better when
- Better when the garment needs float, low bulk and soft movement.
- Better for layered kaftans, blouses, resort pieces and summer occasionwear.
- Works well when lining or an underlayer is already planned.
Heavier printed rayon fabric is better when
- Heavier printed rayon is better when stronger opacity is needed without lining.

This fabric is better when
- Better when the design calls for a soft printed surface rather than woven texture.
- Lighter and more fluid than most jacquard fabrics.
- More suitable for airy layers, blouses and loose warm-weather garments.
Woven jacquard fabric is better when
