Chiffon Fabric 60in Wide Sheer by the Yard - Soft Kelly Green 20 yd

In this review of New Star Fabrics chiffon, the bottom line is simple: this 60in wide, 20 yd length of kelly green sheer is best for makers who need a large, lightweight polyester chiffon for decor or apparel. The reviewer found the fabric to be notably soft and flowing, making it ideal for draping and garments, while the continuous 60in width and wide yardage simplify projects that require long unbroken lengths. Practical care instructions also make it a sensible choice for repeat event use or multiple costume pieces.

Key Features

• Premium 100% Soft Polyester: The material delivers a smooth, durable feel that holds up to handling and can be reused for events or garments.
• Continuous 60in Width: A full 60in roll eliminates seams for wide backdrops, long drapes, or multi-panel dresses, saving time when cutting and fitting.
• Generous Yardage Options: Available in lengths up to 20 yd, it gives enough fabric for multiple projects or large-scale event decor without piecing.
• Lightweight and Flowing: The chiffon has a sheer, flowing drape that works well for maxi dresses, scarves, and soft stage or wedding draping.
• Easy Care: Hand wash or gentle machine cycle with cold water and mild detergent keeps the fabric looking fresh for reuse.

Who It's For

This chiffon is aimed at hobby sewists, costume makers, and event decorators who need a large amount of sheer fabric with a soft hand and good drape. It is particularly useful for wedding decorators making chair covers, backdrops, or swags, and for designers creating sheer blouses, scarves, or layered dresses.

Those seeking a heavy opaque fabric, natural fiber like silk, or structured material for tailored garments should look elsewhere; this chiffon is best when lightweight, sheer qualities and reuse are priorities rather than stiffness or heavy coverage.
