What is Organza Fabric? 

• Organza is a crisp and lightweight fabric, traditionally made from silk. 
• Nowadays it is made by combining natural as well synthetic fibers. 
• It is a great choice for draping and is mostly used by tailors to create voluminous skirts and dresses. 
• Organza looks sheer but is a very strong fabric. 

History

• The name Organza basically originated from the word organzine which means the method to create silk threads from silk fibers. 
• Even though silk was developed in China, the name came from Urgang, a town in Turkestan, which was one of the famous silk markets.
• Organza has arrived in Europe through the Silk Road and remained the most desirable fabric since then. 
• China being the largest producer as well as exporter, the production of Organza has spread around the globe. 

What Makes it Stand Out

Application & Usage 

How to Judge the Authenticity 

• Pure organza fabric can be checked by looking at the material and by listening to the crisp sound when rubbed. 
• The other way of checking the authenticity is by a burn test. 
• Take a piece of an organza cloth and burn it. 
• The burning smell of the organza fabric will be similar to the burning of hair.

Care Instructions 

• Organza fabric can be hand washed using mild detergent. However, if you have silk organza then it is recommended to dry clean it. 
• Do not dry the fabric under direct sunlight, lay it on a flat surface as it will avoid creasing. 
• Lay press cloth over the organza fabric as protection and put the iron on a low setting.
