What is brasso fabric?
Brasso is a burn-out finish rather than a fibre. A chemical is printed onto a blended cloth and dissolves one of the fibres in the treated areas, leaving them semi-transparent while the rest stays opaque. The pattern is therefore made from contrast in transparency, not from dye or embroidery.
Will the pattern wash off over time?
No. The design is created by removing fibre from the cloth in specific areas, so it is structural rather than applied. Unlike a surface print, there is nothing sitting on top of the fabric to rub, crack or fade away over time.
How does the petticoat affect a brasso saree?
More than with most fabrics. The burnt-out areas are semi-transparent, so the petticoat shows through them. A matching shade keeps the pattern soft and tonal, while a contrasting one makes the motifs read sharply. Try both before the function to see which effect you prefer.
What comes with the saree?
An 80 cm unstitched blouse piece is included, and the total length is given as 6.30 metres including that piece. The blouse fabric arrives uncut, so a tailor needs to cut and stitch it to your measurements before you can wear the saree.
