Message: i would really appreciate id you could help me to understand how to dye 100% silk and 100% sheer chiffon materials to create the same colour? as they are to be put together to create a dress. i would also need to know the dye class and the methodology. thankyou very much and i must say it is quite urgent as it relates to my year 12 major textiles project.

What fiber do you intend for the chiffon to be woven from? It will be trivial to get the two fabrics to match if they are both silk. Silk chiffon is a lovely fabric.

(100% chiffon is a meaningless quantification, since chiffon is a weave, not a fiber. If you are studying textiles, you really should become more conversant with the distinction between the terms used for the different weaves of fabric and those used to specify the fiber content.)

Chiffon can be woven from synthetic fibers as well, however. The dyeing of polyester chiffon is not a project that I recommend; see "Dyeing Polyester with Disperse Dyes". Chiffon can also be woven from cotton or rayon, which dye differently than silk.

Silk is usually dyed with acid dyes. See under "About Dyes".
