organdies
Stiff translucent fabrics
Organdies is the plural of organdy, a sheer, lightweight cotton fabric with a crisp finish.
The stiffness comes from a special treatment that gives the fabric its distinctive body.
Organdy appears in formal dresses, curtains, and decorative trims where translucency and structure are both desired: The bridesmaids wore organdies in pastel shades.
