I hope you find some organza and show us what you do with it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/organza-rabbit-hole#post-2411643 Mon, 27 Apr 2026 19:19:11 +0000 Ket 2411643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooo! I love seeing this fabric again. I'm an 80s and 90s kid. When I was 8 or 9, I had a piano recital. My mom found me this taffeta dress on clearance. (I grew up dirt poor, so this was a big deal.) The dress had a black velvet bodice. The skirt was a bubble skirt was cobalt blue with velvet scroll work on it. The sleeves were short or elbow length, and also bubble shaped. &nbsp;I miss the interesting fabrics we used to have. Everything is more casual and wash-n-wear these days, it seems.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/organza-rabbit-hole#post-2411629 Mon, 27 Apr 2026 17:05:31 +0000 Angie 2411629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Organza is such an '80s fabric :)</p> <p>It's expressive, and it makes sense that you like it, <b>Carol</b>!</p> <p>It can be scratchy to wear as a top, so I'm warning you. You can create a similar effect with chiffon, which is much, much softer. Granted, chiffon does not hold its shape the same way organza does.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/organza-rabbit-hole#post-2411620 Mon, 27 Apr 2026 15:53:00 +0000 Suz 2411620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you could definitely pull it off in a cretive way...as in photo 9. It's a gorgeous fabric, but of course quite delicate. An organza blouse with a floor sweeping skirt is a great look for a ball.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/organza-rabbit-hole#post-2411617 Mon, 27 Apr 2026 15:35:06 +0000 Carol 2411617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I looked up organza yesterday to remind me what it was (a stiff, gauzy fabric made from a variety of materials), and it was so beautiful that I ended up clicking on photo after photo and wondering if and how it would fit into my life.&nbsp;</p> <p>The nicer versions are like art pieces, and the cheaper versions are compelling enough. The wraps are most appealing to me--I don't think they do much in terms of warmth, but have major visual impact.</p> <p>They look, at first glance, like they only belong at galas. But I think a creative person, an irreverent person, a bold person might be able to pull it off in a more casual way. Perhaps with a leotard and pleated skirt...or a gothy black tank dress and boots...I bet there are a million ways.&nbsp; </p>
