It is done in the weaving rather than in the dyeing, which is why it does not sit as a gradient down the length.\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. This is hand weaving in the plain sense of it: a pit loom, a weft inserted by hand, and a dobby setting the buti across the body and the figures in the border. The pattern is built as the cloth is built, not printed on later.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect the small unevennesses that hand weaving leaves behind. They are evidence of how the cloth was made, and the piece is checked and finished before it leaves us either way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe border, and how it wears\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe border is woven bugdi: its design reads the same on both faces of the cloth. It is the detail in this weave most worth turning over and looking at.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe figures are ours, measured in-house: 350 to 360 g, 44 to 46 GSM. Light enough for warm weather and long wear, soft enough to pleat closely, and semi-sheer through the body, so wear it over a petticoat.\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.
