Organza dresses - light and airy

A tender, airy dress with a full skirt is a real princess outfit that every girl should try on at least once in her life. In order to make the dress look like a weightless cloud, you need a special fabric. Most often, organza is chosen for sewing such outfits - a beautiful, flying material that can turn any young lady into a fabulous creation.

Organza is the thinnest, almost completely transparent fabric, woven from several types of fibers. The name of the material, like himself, is of eastern origin - in European countries, organza appeared only at the end of the 18th century.

In today's article, we will talk about the features of organza dresses: their characteristics, popular styles and models, as well as how to properly care for products made of this material.

Like any other tissue, organza has its own advantages and disadvantages.

The advantages of this material include:

• ability to maintain shape for a long time;
• high degree of strength;
• spectacular appearance;
• pleasant tactile sensations;
• light weight, so even lush and long dresses remain very light;
• the material is quick-drying;
• low cost;
• good breathability;
• the fabric wrinkles poorly and is easy to iron;
• the ability to easily remove most types of dirt from the fabric.

Organza deficiencies are significantly less than positive qualities. The following features of this material should be taken into account:

• iron the organza very carefully, as it is easy to burn with an iron;
• she does not drape very well - the organza gathers only in large folds;
• a high degree of transparency of the material makes it mandatory to use the lining fabric.

Organza has a rather complex composition, as it is made from several types of fibers. Traditionally, such a fabric is made from silk, viscose or polyester fibers. Thus, organza is not always a natural material; it can be synthetic or have a mixed composition.

The addition of artificial fibers allows you to achieve an unusual texture and appearance of the fabric. Organza can have a glossy or matte surface, be plain or multicolor (shimmering in several colors). Perforated organza and organza with an interweaving of shiny threads are very popular.

The classic model of organza dress is a dress with an A-shaped silhouette (also called silhouette). It is an outfit with a fitted top and a flared skirt on the floor. Bando dresses with a stiff, open bodice and organza skirt look spectacular. In the evening version, the skirt should be maxi, and for less solemn occasions, shortened models are acceptable.

Organza dress with a full floor skirt is a traditional prom decision. Such a dress can be classified as ballroom, as it meets all the criteria. Despite the style, which has already become a classic, such dresses can be very diverse.

A magnificent organza dress with multi-layered skirts of different lengths looks spectacular. Layers may vary in color: both contrasting combinations and smooth gradient transitions from one color to another look very unusual.

The upper part of the dress can also be made in different versions. Usually, in addition to a long, magnificent skirt, choose the most open bodice, beautifully emphasizing the line of the shoulders and the shape of the chest. The sleeves of such a dress are usually either absent or made of another material. The lack of sleeves is often compensated by long gloves.

For the most important day in their lives, many brides choose organza dresses. This is due to many factors, including the availability of material, as well as a wide variety of colors and textures. Today, more and more girls are abandoning the standard boiling-white wedding dress in favor of a beige, ivory, ivory or even brighter color scheme.

Using organza, designers create incredible in size, airy skirts. Such an outfit turns the bride into a truly beautiful, unearthly creature. Translucent material allows you to play with color and light, if you use several types of fabric when sewing a wedding dress.

For a formal exit, an outfit with a long, not too fluffy skirt should be preferred. Such a dress should be of a restrained color, for example, silver-gray, black, dark blue or burgundy. In this case, not multilayer, voluminous skirts, but a dress with a slightly flared silhouette, with a cover of dense material and a flowing upper organza skirt will be more appropriate.

The requirements for cocktail dresses are not so strict at all, since this is an outfit for dancing and socializing in an informal setting. For such cases, usually choose short dresses with a full skirt, for example, a tutu dress. The bodice is usually quite open.The color of the outfit can be any; soft purple, lemon, emerald and turquoise organza patterns look equally impressive.
