Organza

Organza is a fine sheer lightweight fabric with a stiff feel, traditionally made from silk, often with a metallic sheen, and popular for elegant or dressy clothing. Modern organza is woven from synthetic filaments, while luxury Organza from France or Italy is still made from silk. Gothic dresses like Melantha use organza for extra gorgeous looks.
