What does pure Banarasi crush feel like to wear?
The crush finish is pressed into the cloth, so the surface carries a fine irregular texture rather than a smooth face. It moves easily, breaks up light instead of reflecting it in a single sheet, and disguises the ordinary creasing that any saree picks up over a long function.
What is khathi work?
Khathi work is a hand-worked embroidery style, done on a frame rather than run through a machine. Because a person places each stitch, the layout can follow the design instead of repeating mechanically. On this saree it is combined with sequence work, which sets small flat discs into the stitching.
Is a blouse included with this saree?
Yes. A blouse piece in viscose silk satin is included, measuring 0.80 metre and supplied unstitched. Viscose silk satin is softer and more fluid than the Banarasi crush of the saree, which makes it comfortable against the skin once your tailor has cut it to fit.
Can this saree be worn to a wedding function?
It works well for one. The weight of the drape, the khathi handwork and the sequence detailing all suit a wedding, a reception or a formal evening gathering. Because the surface already carries a good deal of shine, restrained jewellery tends to sit better with it than heavy sets.
How should this saree be stored between wears?
Fold it loosely rather than pressing sharp creases into the crush finish, and keep it away from direct sunlight so the shade holds. Storing it wrapped in soft cotton lets the fabric breathe and keeps the sequence work from catching on other garments in the wardrobe.
