How to Judge the Authenticity
- Pure organza fabric can be checked by looking at the material and by listening to the crisp sound when rubbed.
- The other way of checking the authenticity is by a burn test.
- Take a piece of an organza cloth and burn it.
- The burning smell of the organza fabric will be similar to the burning of hair.
Care Instructions
- Organza fabric can be hand washed using mild detergent. However, if you have silk organza then it is recommended to dry clean it.
- Do not dry the fabric under direct sunlight, lay it on a flat surface as it will avoid creasing.
- Lay press cloth over the organza fabric as protection and put the iron on a low setting.
