What is gajji silk?
Gajji silk is woven in a satin structure, which gives it a glossy face and a smooth, weighty fall. It is a substantial cloth rather than a light one, and that body is what allows it to carry both a jacquard pattern and applied stone work without sagging.
Can a saree have both jacquard and embroidery?
Yes, and this one does. The jacquard pattern is woven into the cloth on the loom, so it is part of the fabric structure, while the embroidery and stone work are applied to the surface afterwards. The two operate at different depths and read as layers.
How is stone work attached?
Flat-backed stones are set by hand into the fabric and held in place with stitching or adhesive depending on the method used. This listing records multi stone handwork, meaning the stones vary in size and were placed by hand rather than machine-set in a repeating run.
Why is the blouse a different fabric?
The blouse piece is satin silk while the saree is pure gajji jaquard silk. A plain satin blouse gives a quieter surface against a patterned woven drape, which stops the outfit competing with itself. The piece is supplied unstitched at 0.80 metre.
