Hi everyone,
A quick question while I'm in the planning stages of this outfit...
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
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.

When I washed an offcut of organza (it had gotten a spill) it became
too limp to match the rest of the garment. It was also lots duller.
My vote, dont... unless ya gotta.
Whatcha doing with menswear that takes organza? Not a typical choice.
I'm so intrigued.
