Oh, I remember organdy, I used it to make my 8th grade graduation dress. Girls took sewing in 7th and 8th grades and we began our projects in Sept. and finished them for June. Everyone was using eyelet fabrics for their dresses but I my mother insisted I get organdy, probably because it was cheaper. Boy was that dress a mess after working on it all though 8th grade, especially the french seams. Gave it a good hand washing and starching and wore it just once over a lacy white full slip for my graduation ceremony. Turned me off organdy forever.
