How much chiffon goes into a evening gown?

Question

on average that is, in yards

Answer 1

Depending on how full the skirt is 10 to 15 yards ;)))

Answer 2

This is a bit like asking How long is a bit of string...  The answer is as much as the design and pattern takes, and that depends entirely on the style and the way it is cut!

This one took about 12 yards of 60" wide silk chiffon in all the different colours: http://www.diceyhome.free-online.co.uk/K...

On the other hand, this one only took about four!   Well, it would have been four if we hadn't doubled the skirt! http://www.diceyhome.free-online.co.uk/K...

I made one very like this last year for myself out of a single Indian scarf.
