Organza is a crisp and sheer plain weave fabric. It is thin and lightweight. It has fine texture with a very slight sheen finish. The fabric is crisp and gives a wiry feel. It crushes or musses easily but is easily pressed. It is a stiff and transparent fabric and very dressy.

Organza is produced from highly twisted yarn. The gum present on the raw silk holds together the weave creating a stiff fabric. It is easy to dye, but some minor distortion takes place after dyeing due to sheerness and irregularity of twisted yarns. The fabric is washable but in cold water to retain its crispness. Organza fabric is similar to cotton organdy except it is transparent.
