What is brasso fabric?
Brasso is made by applying a chemical to a blended cloth that dissolves one fibre while leaving the other intact. The dissolved areas become semi-sheer and the untouched areas stay opaque, so the pattern is part of the fabric structure rather than printed onto its surface.
Is a brasso saree see-through?
Partly, by design. The burnt-out areas of the pattern are semi-sheer while the remaining areas stay opaque, which is what creates the contrast. A matching petticoat is the usual pairing, and the embroidery and stone work add further density where they sit.
Why is this saree priced lower than the rest?
It sits at the lowest price point in this group. Brasso is a different construction from the satins and crepes around it rather than a lesser one, and the applied work here is lighter because the fabric already supplies its own pattern and texture.
What is raw silk in the blouse?
Raw silk carries visible slubs, meaning small thickened sections in the yarn that give the cloth a textured, uneven hand. As a blouse fabric it reads quite differently from a smooth satin, and it provides the opacity that a part-sheer brasso saree needs at the bodice.
Will the burn-out pattern wear away?
The pattern is created by removing fibre during manufacture, so it is structural rather than surface-applied and does not rub off the way a print can. The care instruction recorded here is that the first wash of the garment should always be dry-cleaned.
