What is organza fabric? How is it different from tissue fabric in sarees?

Organza is a thin, sheer, plain-woven fabric with a crisp, slightly stiff texture. It holds its structure well, drapes in a beautiful sculptural way, and has a subtle sheen. Originally made from silk, most wholesale organza sarees today use polyester or nylon organza.

Tissue fabric is similar — sheer and lightweight — but has metallic zari threads woven through it, giving it a golden or silver shimmer throughout the fabric. Tissue sarees look richer and more festive than plain organza.
