(taken from NUNO list) Polyester organdy is pleated horizontally over and over. Different colors in the warp and weft create beautiful iridescent surface effects. Polyester as a material is particularly conducive to heat shaping and thus keeps its pleats indefinitely. The warp is silver-grey and the weft is translucent white, creating an overall silver effect.
