I'm sure someone on this list can answer this question for me: What the heck is silk gazar fabric?

Picture a heavy organza that's shiny/satiny on one side, at least when purchased from FFC. I got some of their gazar, and though it was absolutely GORGEOUS, it was also a nightmare to sew. If I hadn't been making the dress for a client who loved the fabric, I would have thrown it out. Or better yet, had a bonfire. It catches and runs and is so slippery you think you're going insane, and the dye job doesn't quite go all the way through--if the fabric gets creased you can iron it ou, but you'll have a pale line where the crease was.

But it is gorgeous.
