What is zardoshi embroidery?
Zardoshi is metal-thread work. Fine metallic wire, coils and spangles are couched onto the fabric with stitches that hold them down rather than passing through them, so the work sits raised on the surface. It is heavier than thread embroidery and reflects light far more sharply.
Does zardoshi work make a saree heavy?
It adds real weight, because metal wire and coils weigh considerably more than embroidery thread. On a fine tissue base the contrast is noticeable: the worked areas carry substance while the rest of the drape stays light. Density of the work decides how much difference you feel.
How much blouse fabric is supplied?
The blouse piece is 0.80 metre of cora zari tissue silk, matching the saree, and it arrives unstitched. That is enough for a standard blouse cut, and a tailor makes it up to your own measurement. The measurement is recorded on the specification sheet.
How quickly is this saree dispatched?
Once stock is confirmed, orders are normally prepared for dispatch the next business day. That confirmation step comes first, so the timeline starts from the point the item is verified as available rather than from the moment the order is placed.
Is tissue fabric hard to look after?
Tissue is woven fine and thin, so it marks and snags more easily than a heavier cloth, and metal-thread work adds edges that can catch. No wash care instruction is recorded for this saree, which makes a specialist cleaner the safer route for anything beyond airing it.
