Silk chiffon requires gentle handling because its light weight allows it to shift easily during cutting and sewing.
Use very sharp tools, fine needles, pattern weights, and carefully controlled stitching. Lightweight seam finishes such as French seams and narrow rolled hems are often appropriate.
Avoid pulling or stretching the fabric during construction.
