It might lose a bit of body but it shouldn't get limp. Silk organza is made from silk fibers that have been very tightly twisted which is where the stiffness comes from.

Does silk organza go limp when you wash it like taffeta does? My partner insists that his garb has to be washable but he doesn't want synthetics and the style of garb he wants really needs something with body. I was hoping that if I bought taffeta and interfaced it with organza I could get back some of the stiffness that taffeta has when it's new.
