Chiffons are a very light texture saris that are very
valuable. The lightness of texture makes it an elegant
formal wear and it falls on the wearer perfectly and
drapes her beautifully. The
sari becomes even more
interesting with brocade work done on chiffon,
which enhances the beauty of the
sari manifold.
This chiffon sari comes in a beautiful double shade of
light and dark grey that blend well into each other.
The body is plain but the pallav and the border are
exquisitely woven. They are woven in biscuit color
threads. The border has beautifully carved arches
amidst entwined creepers.
The Pallav is very rich with carved window motifs,
that are commonly found on the Mughal architecture in
India. Brocade work essentially involves intricate
leaf and floral pattern, that are closely woven making
the sari very rich. Brocades form the traditional
courtly and wedding textiles of India.
The sari also has an attached blouse piece, that is
also richly woven with flowers and creepers.
