Organza is a lightweight, sheer fabric that is often used in formal and bridal wear due to its elegant quality. It is made from silk, polyester, or a blend of both, and is known for its shimmering appearance.

• The fabric is characterised by its transparent nature, which is achieved through the use of a plain weave. This weave structure involves the interlacing of warp and weft threads in a simple over-under pattern, resulting in a flat, smooth surface.
• Organza fabric is commonly used in dressmaking, particularly for creating voluminous skirts, overlays, and trimmings.
• It is also used in home decoration such as curtains, tablecloths, and lampshades. Because of its delicate nature, organza is often layered over other fabrics to add depth and dimension to the final product.
