New Star Fabrics Chiffon Fabric 60in Wide 20yds - Sheer Hunter Green

In this review the New Star Fabrics chiffon is evaluated for decorators and dressmakers who need a lightweight, continuous sheer material. The bottom line: this 60in wide, 20yd run of 100% soft polyester chiffon is best for anyone wanting an ample length of flowing fabric for draping, wedding backdrops, or apparel where softness and a delicate fall matter most. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of generous continuous yardage and the fabric's soft, sheer drape that makes large decorative or sewing projects simpler to plan and execute.

Key Features

• Material: 100% soft polyester gives a consistent, reusable chiffon that is easy to handle for multiple projects.
• Width and length: The 60in width with a continuous 20yd length provides enough material for large backdrops, maxi dresses, or multiple garments without seams.
• Sheer drape: Lightweight construction produces a flowing, elegant fall suited to sheer blouses, scarves, and event draping.
• Care: Machine gentle or hand wash with cold water keeps the fabric looking fresh while preserving the soft hand when cared for properly.
• Performance: Fair crease resistance and modest elasticity mean the fabric resists obvious wrinkling and moves comfortably with the wearer.
• Versatility: Works equally well for sewing apparel, dance costumes, DIY decor, and chair decorations thanks to its neutral drape and finish.

Who It's For

This fabric is aimed at event planners, seamstresses, and hobby sewers who need a long, consistent run of sheer material in a deep hunter green. Costume designers and wedding decorators who value a soft, flowing drape will find the 60in width especially useful for wide panels and unbroken backdrops.

Those who should look elsewhere include customers needing natural fibers like silk or cotton, or anyone requiring a heavyweight or opaque textile; this chiffon is intentionally lightweight and sheer and will not substitute for opaque or insulating fabrics.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Soft, sheer hand that hangs and flows well for draping and garments.
• Generous 60in width and continuous 20yd length reduce seams for large projects.
• Easy care instructions allow hand washing or a gentle machine cycle to maintain appearance.
• Durable polyester construction offers reusability for multiple events or garments.

Cons

• As a lightweight chiffon, it is sheer by design and will require lining or layering for opaque garments.
• Some customers report mixed impressions of long-term durability, so heavy-use applications may need reinforcement.
