Re: [h-cost] Silk Gazar?
I have a feeling it's going to depend on who's selling it; the silk gazar being sold by Fashion Fabrics Club, for example, doesn't really seem to match perfectly the descriptions I've read; it's more like what I'd expect from satin-backed organza (which I've actually never handled). Here's what I posted last time about my experience with it: --- 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 out, but you'll have a pale line where the crease was. But it is gorgeous. --- [search the archives around 11/13 for the topic 'Fabric Question' for more] I should add that it has a very papery texture. In the future, I'd consider using it as a utility fabric for interlining/stiffening of a small area, but never again shall I try to use it as a fashion fabric layer for an entire garment. -E House ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
[h-cost] Silk Gazar?
Can any of you tell me how this compares to an Organza? I've never had a chance to handle it. ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

It's heavier and (at least what I've handled) more slippery. Picture satin-backed organza. I think there were some posts about it on here a few months back--you might want to see if you can find it in the archives. -E House ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
