This versatile dance fabric is extremely suitable for pleating thus creating a wide range of looks. Pleated georgette half circles are very popular for the most classic of fashionable Ballroom skirts!
 
Luxury georgette, or more technically known as "Cationic Georgette" is slightly heavier and therefore superior in quality to regular georgette allowing for a brighter and more intense colour.
