Description:

A crisp black organdie that is perfect for creating structured pleats and dramatic silhouettes. This translucent plain weave cotton will maintain its pleating after washing and will only soften slightly keeping its paper like finish.

107cm wide.
1.4oz, 47gsm.
100% cotton.
Country of origin; India.
For the first couple of washes, place the fabric in the washing machine drum at 30 or 40 degrees with a handful of table salt. This will help fix the dye to prevent it running.
As all computer monitors show colours differently, we recommend ordering a sample of the cloth to check it is the right colour and weight for your project.
Thread match Gutermann Sew All BLK.

Judy wears the Factory Gathered Boat Neck Hack, in a size 10.

Please note, the white and the black organdie are from different suppliers, so they are not exactly the same drape and feel.

Organdie Party Dress Hack

Our new 100% cotton organdie fabric is light and sculptural. It lends itself beautifully to dramatic pleats and gathers making it perfect for this year’s Christmas party dress.

Our Boat Neck Factory Dress is transformed from an easy going day dress into the party dress of our dreams. The stiffness of the fabric gives the wide sleeves a statement silhouette and creates a skirt with vintage petticoat-style puff and swish. We’ve chosen to add three growth pleats at the hem to highlight the sheerness of the fabric. The inside is finished throughout with French seams and pin hem facings.⁠ The use of organdie in a simple dress pattern like this allows you couture levels of elegance and drama without any uncomfortable waistbands – surely the ultimate outfit hack for a Christmas party?

For more ideas with Organdie you could try a FLORENCE TOP, a MATHILDE SKIRT or even a really cool, sheer ALL STATE SHIRT.

Judy is wearing a size 10. You will need to have the Factory pattern and the Boat Neck Addition. We've made a set of free instructions to help you to elevate your Boat Neck Factory dress with a sheer fabric including fabric allowances for the growth pleats and neatly finished seams inside. You can download them here. A note on sizing - Judy measures at an 8/10, and we made a 10, we think this would look great a little oversized, so you could afford to go up 1-2 sizes up if you want a sculptural look.
