Organdie

Organdie
ORGANDIE
A thin light fabric in the plain weave with a very stiff finish. A typical organdie is made with 88 ends and 72 picks per inch, 80's warp, 120's weft. There are always more ends than picks per inch and the weft is finer than the warp. The finish has a characteristic crispness and the finisher aims at giving a permanent finish. The fabric is used for summer and evening dresses, neckwear and children's clothing.
