What is georgette fabric and what is it used for in Indian clothing?

Georgette is a sheer, lightweight crepe fabric with a slightly rough, grainy surface texture. It drapes fluidly and flows beautifully, making it one of the most versatile fabrics in Indian ethnic wear.

Types available in Surat market:

Pure silk georgette — premium, natural sheen
Synthetic/polyester georgette — most common in wholesale catalogs, affordable
Viscose georgette — mid-range, excellent drape

Used for: Sarees, salwar suits (especially Pakistani-style 3-piece sets), kurtis, dupatta, and lehenga dupattas. Its natural flow makes it ideal for festive, semi-formal, and wedding guest wear.

💡 Synthetic georgette is the dominant wholesale product from Surat — affordable, durable, and prints extremely well for digital and screen printing.
