Detail:
Silk Mesh Organza is a soft lightweight, thin, plain weave, sheer Textile fabric made of 100% silk . It is often used as a layering fabric or to add volume to a garment. Its crisp texture can be used to flatter the figure, because it does not drape too closely to the body. Luxurious and elegant, our silk mesh organza is crisp, easy to sew and holds its shape well. Silk Mesh Organza is not as tightly woven as Silk Organza. It is great for eveningwear, bridal/wedding, lingerie, creative sportswear, and some home décor.

Hand:
Extremely lightweight and thin with a very slightly pebbly texture

Luster:
Very slight sheen

Tips & Tricks:
Cut pieces with stretch going across the body
Layer the fabric between two sheets of tissue thin paper before cutting to stabilize. Hold fabric in place using fabric weights or fine, sharp pins (like our extra fine pins). Keep cut fabric pieces pinned to tissue paper until right before you’re ready to sew.
For more exact cutting, lay out fabric on dressmaker's cutting board, hold down pattern pieces w/fabric weights and trace around pattern pieces (one layer at a time) with a sharp rotary cutter.
Use a very fine ballpoint (stretch) needle when machine sewing
Use a knit stitch to maintain stretch - chainstitch is ideal, but you can also use a narrow 2-step zig-zag stitch or overlock (serger) to sew seams without additional stitch
Mesh should not touch the feed dogs when sewing - if sewing mesh as an overlay to another fabric be sure to keep the mesh as the topmost layer under the presser foot. Otherwise, back all mesh with tissue paper and tear paper away (gently!) when finished
If sewing two layers of mesh together, sandwich between two layers of tissue paper and tear paper away (gently!) when finished
Silk mesh does not ravel at edges when cut - you do not need to finish the edges unless you need to for the look of your garment
Consider finishing edges with very thin self binding, bias cut woven binding, or a knit binding
This fabric is completely transparent - only use seam and hem finishes that will look nice inside and outside the garment. Be sure to use matching thread for all seams and finishes.
The best finishes for mesh are: very thin binding (see above), very thin french seams, DTM overlock or purl stitch, very thin rolled edges, or neatly trimmed raw edges.

Care:
Dry clean or hand wash in cold water. Iron when needed.
