What does woven raw silk mean?
Raw silk is spun from shorter silk fibres, so the yarn has visible slubs and the cloth has a dry hand and a matte surface. Woven refers to it being a plain woven cloth rather than a knit. The result is a fabric with body that holds skirt volume well.
Is orange a practical wedding colour?
Orange sits in the festive end of the palette and works particularly well at daytime functions such as a haldi or a mehndi, where daylight brings out its warmth. With gold jewellery it carries into an evening reception too, though it reads brighter in sunlight.
Does raw silk need lining?
A fitted choli in raw silk is normally lined, because the dry, slightly rough surface is less comfortable directly against the skin than a smooth silk. Skirt lining is also common, both for comfort and to stop a pale ground from being translucent under strong light.
How does raw silk compare with satin silk?
Satin silk has a smooth face and a strong directional shine, so it falls fluidly and reflects light across the surface. Raw silk is matte, textured and firmer, holding shape rather than draping softly. Raw silk reads as a solid block of colour, satin as shifting highlights.
