Both are unstitched fabric rather than a made-up garment. It arrives finished: pallu tassels (kuchu) tied, selvedge and edges finished, and a pre-dispatch check completed on the piece before it leaves us. Fall, pico and edge finishing are not done before dispatch, but we do them on request.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is woven\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pit loom, a weft put in by hand, and a dobby that sets the buti across the body and the design along the border and pallu. No piece here is machine-woven; the weaver confirms each one. It comes from master weaver Aafreen's loom. The Handloom Mark is held for this cloth, with the registration on record. Where the weave runs a little uneven, that is the hand at work rather than a fault in the cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe bugdi border\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a bugdi border — the woven design reads the same on both faces. Turn the edge back at the pleats and the border still reads as it should.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it feels and how it falls\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe measured figures are 350–360 g at 44–46 GSM — weighed in-house, not quoted from a supplier — which is why the saree sits so easily on the shoulder. The body is semi-sheer, so wear it over a petticoat. The drape is soft, holds its pleats through a long day, and does not stiffen or go limp after the first clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWearing it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade for festive and formal wear, ethnic occasions, and weddings or receptions attended as a guest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare and storage\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfessional dry clean only.
