collection.]] Organdy, also spelled Organdie, is a kind of fabric. It is a lightweight, balanced plain weave made of cotton with features of sheerness and crispness. ==Process== Organdy is an acid stiffened cloth. Its sheerness and crispness is the result of an acid finish, where the fabric is treated with sulfuric acid solution for a short period and then neutralized to remove excessive acid in a process called "parchmentisation". Parchmentisation is a treatment of acid on cellulosic textiles in the pursuit of obtaining parchment characteristics. The finish offers a stiffened and translucent effect not dissimilar from silk organza. Figured Organdy is produced by applying an acid-resisting substance to a localised area; on the contrary, immersing it completely makes it stiffen all over. The objective of all-over parchmentizing is to create a transparent cloth. ==See also== Organza ==References== ==Sources==
