Comments on: Organdy: The Costumer’s Dream Fabric https://historicalsewing.com/the-costumers-dream-fabric 19th Century Costuming for Those Who Dream of the Past Tue, 07 Jan 2025 13:26:20 +0000 hourly 1 By: Anna https://historicalsewing.com/the-costumers-dream-fabric/comment-page-3#comment-273186 Tue, 07 Jan 2025 13:26:20 +0000 http://www.historicalsewing.com/?p=1953#comment-273186 Hello,
thanks for your blog and all the interesting tips regarding sewing. I would love to sew with organdy but being in mainland Europe, I haven’t found a supplier where I don’t need to pay tax/customs in addition to shipping, only vendors from US / UK / India.
The only site I have found is here: https://www.mqlt.de/Organdy-100-Baumwolle-fuer-Trapunto?n=1.2&r=2 – geared towards quilting, and the largest amount of fabric I am currently able to buy from them is 0.6m – that’s not enough for the petticoat of my dreams. Do you, or any of your lovely readers, have any recommendations for where to buy organdy in mainland Europe?
Thanks so much!

Yes, the stiffening can come out. It’s a type of glue that is coated on the fabric after weaving. Hot water will take it out faster than cold water. The higher quality organdies will retain stiffness longer.

I’d hate to go to all the toruble of using organdy to interline somthign only to find the stuffness washes out. I tend to hottest-machine-wash all my cottons before I used them so that all the potential for shirinking is out of the way before I make anything from it.

Washing it for sure. It depends on how much stiffener is in the fibers. Perhaps a soak. Maybe with some baking soda.

I love the feel of vintage organdy dresses but my new yardage is too stiff 🙂

I’d go with medium for the full skirt panels but definitely stiff for the hem facing.

If I want to use organdy to flat line an 1890s skirt (ripple skirt from TV, and I’m using some silk taffeta fabric), what weight of organdy do I want? I found the eBay seller you mentioned and they have soft, medium, and stiff.

Thanks!
