Organza fabric, a fanciful Gold Leopard lifted pattern on a Black base organza background. Quite a show stopper here. Love the potential drape of the fabric – much more fluid than the average organza.
Synthetic blend (Polyester/Lurex). Drape, light/medium weight, sheer, 56″ wide. Dead Stock we sourced from a really high end designer in NYC.
It can be hard to pinpoint exactly what to use a lovely Organza for. You can narrow it down to formal wear of course – and we suggest having the mentality that one should treat organza jacquard like a dress, bottom or taffeta weight fabric (even though it is sheer). First of all, it can be lined and that will provide body. Secondly, its has the stiffness to hold flairs and pleats.
Thus, we suggest a few patterns that are outside the box.
A formal jacket would be the Burda Style Pattern 6041 Misses – Option B line. Simple enough to let the fabric do the talking/make the statement. In the same vein is the Vogue V1865.
The Lucy Dress from By Hand London has such a versatility to it in terms of what fabrics can be used. We love the look.
Kathryn Brenne has a lovely pattern Vogue 1746, a kimono jacket, loose fitting with a really cool pleated pair of pants. Some hacking may be involved because of the lifted pattern.
Vogue V9075 – gathered formal”ish” dress – Option A
