Organza is a sheer, lightweight fabric made from twisted strands of raw silk. It is known for its subtle translucency and crisp texture. Unlike silk, georgette, or chiffon, the organza maintains its shape, providing a more structured look. This makes it perfect for creating sophisticated and polished drapes that hold their form.
To make organza sarees cheaper, manufacturers now use synthetic fibre or blended silk. This allows mass production and cost reduction.
What is so special about Organza Saree?
Organza sarees are cherished for their unique texture, elegant draping capabilities, versatility, visual appeal, comfort, and luxurious feel. The sheer nature of organza makes it very flattering. The overall look and feel of organza is such that it exudes luxury and sophistication, making it a popular choice for special occasions and festivities.
What weather is suitable for wearing an Organza Saree?
Because of its lightweight and breathable nature, Organza Sarees are mostly preferred in summers. Also, the fabric's structure and texture ensure it doesn’t stick to the body. This maintains ease of movement in hot, humid conditions.
You can also wear Organza sarees in winter by adding a matching Lycra or Satin Silk underskirt.
Which body type can wear an Organza Saree?
Organza sarees can be styled in various ways to suit different body types, be it Apple-shaped, Pear-shaped or Hourglass. The key is to highlight your strengths and use the saree’s natural structure to your advantage.
Can a plus-size woman wear an Organza Saree?
Absolutely! With the right draping techniques, it can enhance your curves beautifully without adding bulk.
Try draping the saree in a way that accentuates your waist. A well-defined pleat at the front and a neatly pinned pallu can create a sleek, elegant look. High-waist draping is another great option to elongate your frame.
How to maintain and store an Organza Saree?
The primary concern with organza is its tendency to snag and crease easily. Handle it gently and avoid wearing sharp accessories that might get stuck on the fabric. Use fabric-friendly pins or double-sided tape to secure the pleats and pallu. It is recommended to dry clean an organza saree to maintain its texture and shine. Store it in a cool, dry place, wrapped in a soft cloth to prevent snags and wrinkles.
