Common Questions

Dyeing & Care

Dyeing Steps

• 1
  Pre-wash

  Hand wash gently in cool water before dyeing. Dry flat. Removes factory sizing and ensures even dye penetration across the sheer weave.

• 2
  Use disperse dyes only

  Polyester requires disperse dyes (e.g. Dylon Polyester, iDye Poly, Jacquard iDye Poly). Do not use direct, acid, or fiber reactive dyes — these are for natural or viscose fibres and will not bond with polyester. The fabric will remain undyed if the wrong dye type is used.

• 3
  Dye bath temperature

  Disperse dyes require high heat (85–95°C) to bond with polyester fibres. Use a stainless steel pot, not aluminium. Submerge the fabric fully and stir gently and continuously for even colour. Maintain temperature throughout the dye process.

• 4
  Shrinkage allowance

  Expect approximately 5% shrinkage. Cut all pieces slightly larger than your final measurements before dyeing.

• 5
  Rinse & dry

  Rinse in cool water until clear. Do not wring or twist the fabric — organza creases easily when wet. Lay flat in shade to dry or hang carefully without clips on the weave.

Care After Dyeing

• •
  Washing

  Hand wash cold with very mild detergent. Do not machine wash — the delicate weave can snag or distort under machine agitation.

• •
  Drying

  Lay flat in shade or hang on a smooth hanger. Do not wring, twist, or tumble dry. Handle gently while wet to avoid permanent creasing.

• •
  Ironing

  Iron on the lowest synthetic setting with a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric. Do not apply direct high heat — polyester organza can melt or permanently flatten under excessive heat.

• •
  Storage

  Fold loosely with tissue paper between layers to prevent permanent crease lines. Store away from direct sunlight and moisture.

⚠ Use disperse dyes only — direct, acid, and fiber reactive dyes will not bond with polyester. High heat (85–95°C) is required for proper dye absorption. Do not apply direct iron heat without a pressing cloth — the fabric can melt or lose its crisp texture permanently.
