The brown in the metal picks up the depth in the red instead of sitting on top of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow it is woven\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery piece is made end to end in Maheshwar, in the master-weaver households of Mominpura. A pit loom in Maheshwar, the weft going in by hand, and a dobby carrying the buti and the border. Nothing here is machine-woven. If you have been sent a powerloom piece before, this is the difference you can feel in the hand of the cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmall irregularities in the weave come with the method — a slub, a slightly uneven pick. They are the fingerprint of a hand-inserted weft, not a fault in a finished piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe border, and how it wears\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe border is a bugdi border: the woven border design reads the same on both faces. Turn the edge over at the fall and the figures come up the same way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeighed and published rather than described: 350 to 360 g at 44 to 46 GSM. The drape is soft from the first day and stays soft after cleaning, the pleats sit where you set them, and the semi-sheer body takes a petticoat underneath.\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.
