The bright blue picked up in the pallu bands is what keeps it from going sombre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow it is woven\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaster weaver Aafreen wove it. Pit-loom weaving, with the weft put in by hand pick after pick. The small buti and the border figures are dobby-set rather than applied afterwards, which is why the pattern sits in the cloth rather than on it. The Handloom Mark is held on record for these pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere the weave runs a little uneven, that is the hand at the loom rather than a defect. Every piece still goes through a pre-dispatch check before it is packed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe border, and how it wears\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a bugdi border, which means the woven border design reads the same on both faces — something you can check with your own hands when the piece arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 350 to 360 g and 44 to 46 GSM, this is a featherlight drape rather than a heavy one. It pleats deeply and holds the pleats, and it does not stiffen or go slack after the first clean. The body is semi-sheer and wants a petticoat under it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.3–6.5 m, including an 80–90 cm blouse piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45–46 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 350–360 g, measured in-house\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 44–46 GSM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody:\u003c\/strong\u003e semi-sheer; wear it with a petticoat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrape:\u003c\/strong\u003e soft, holds its pleats, and stays soft after the first clean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLoom:\u003c\/strong\u003e pit loom, with the weft inserted by hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePatterning:\u003c\/strong\u003e dobby-set, on body, border and pallu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinishing:\u003c\/strong\u003e pallu kuchu, selvedge and edges finished; fall and pico on request\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWoven in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maheshwar, Khargone district, Madhya Pradesh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNet quantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e one saree with attached blouse piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry Clean Only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and storage\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfessional dry clean only.

Screens, camera settings and the light a photograph was taken in all move a shade a little, so the piece that reaches you may sit slightly away from the image on this page. Every colour in this range has been tested for fastness on wash and rub.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCountry of origin: India.
