Etymology

The word 'organdy' has its origins in the early 19th century, derived from the French term 'organdi' which itself comes from the Persian word 'Gandh', meaning 'cotton'. Initially, organdy referred to a very fine, sheer fabric that was used in the making of clothing and curtains. As the textile industry evolved, so did the production techniques, leading to the creation of organdy fabrics that could be made from synthetic fibers, expanding its availability and applications. Throughout the years, organdy has remained a staple in fashion, especially for garments that require an airy feel and a structured silhouette. Its lightweight nature and crisp texture have made it a favored material for many designers, particularly in the context of spring and summer collections.
