Georgette Sarees clad comfortably, unnatisilks Georgette Sarees keep you cool in hot weather

The Georgette Saree is a very light and springy fabric, with a crimpy look and a slightly dull lustre. This Crepe was once made from natural silk; today it is mostly made from synthetic filament yarn.
As with other crepes, Georgette Saris are plain weave fabrics. The crimpy or wavy look is achieved by alternating S and Z twist of the yarns of the weft (breadth wise run of yarn thread) while passing it through the warp(length wise lay of yarn thread).




Though the Georgette Saree is made from Synthetic fibres, which is widely available and comparatively cheap as compared to silk, the silk variety is also available.
Silk crape is hard spinning of silk yarn in its gummy state or natural condition. Initially when the threads from two feeds are twisted in reverse on the weft, the fabric is smooth and even. But when the gum separates out on putting the woven fabric in boiling water, the twisted threads from the weft, become soft. The weft, then losing its twist, gives the fabric the waved structure or crimpy look.




The Georgette Saree is essentially a soft, smooth, and airy fabric, ideal for hot and humid weather conditions.
The Georgette Saree of synthetic filament yarn possesses advantages of low moisture absorption, good stain resistance to chemicals, and makes it easy to wash and maintain. However it burns more easily than natural fibres, and hence is prone to heat damage.



Georgette Sarees are available in a wide range of colours and hues on account of their acceptability of most dyes. With attractive designs and accompaniments in vivid colour combinations, the Georgette Saree assumes the level of a refreshing style statement.    

Take for example, the designer fashion Georgette saree, decorated with kundans, pearls, beads and sequins. An extremely gorgeous piece, it is most suitable for Indian weddings and preferred as bridal attire.



Or the Indian Pure Georgette Sari with Bandhani , Block and Bagruprints which looks most graceful.


The North Indian Fancy Georgette Saree embellished with Zari Zardozi, Ari, Gota or Chikan embroidery patterns is an extremely eye-catching variation.



The Half and Half Georgette Sari having Chunri prints and embroidered border is stylish wear suitable for college parties, corporate office, cultural programmes and festivals.



The Georgette Saree having embroidery patch work along with a printed border is trending fashion, well-liked and most appropriate for corporate conferences, traditional occasions and temple visits.




Unnati Silks, devoted to ethnic sarees and salwar kameez materials, have a wide range of Georgette Sarees. Incorporating traditional and trendy designs with attractive patterns in the most pleasing colour combinations, their fabrics cater to varying individual tastes and at the most reasonable prices.

Kanchipuram Silk Saree, Kanchipuram Saree symbolic of grandeur, Kanchipuram Saree remains exclusive

Kanchipuram, near Chennai, is famous for its Kanchipuram or Kanjeevaram Sarees.

Traditionally Kanjeevaram Sarees are of silk and cotton. However the Kanchipuram Silk Saree, exclusively known for its regal look and grand feel is the possessor’s pride and the envy of others. No marriage or traditional function in South India seems solemnized unless the resplendent Kanchipuram Silk Saree adorns many a woman present on the occasion.


Kanchipuram Silk Sarees are made of pure silk, achieving their grandeur from the motifs having zari of silk threads dipped in liquid gold and silver. Classification as a Kanjeevaram Sari, needs the  Geographical Indication (GI)  stipulation, that the decorative zari must have at least 57% silver and 0.6% gold in it, be followed in word and detail.

A geographical indication (GI) is a name or sign used on certain products which corresponds to a specific geographical location or origin. The use of a GI may act as a certification that the product possesses certain qualities, is made according to traditional methods, or enjoys a certain reputation, due to its geographical origin.
Kanchipuram Sarees have GI label for the product since 2005. 

Elegant broad borders with colours and designs different from that of the body highlight the Kanjeevaram Silk Saree. The pallu or hanging end of the saree, could be of the same colour and design as that of the border or could differ. If different, it is woven separately and then finely attached to the main saree.


A Kanjeevaram Silk Sari could take two to three weavers working simultaneously, anywhere from a week to a fortnight to complete a Saree.  The time taken depends upon the uniqueness and intricacy of the design to be incorporated in the motif.
Typical motifs are sun, moon, peacock, swan, lion and mango. Themes like jasmine flowers scattered between boundaries, parallel lines running across the sun or temple structures, are also popular.


A popular variation is a thicker, stiff and heavier Kanchipuram Silk Saree. This is achieved by the dipping of zari threads in rice water and drying it to get thickness, before weaving for supplementary warp and weft patterns.

Priced from a modest Rs. 2000/-, the Kanchipuram Silk Saree could move upto a lakh and above, based on the design, motif and materials used.

Modern designs, artistic floral work and other incorporations on the saree body are variations to widen the appeal of the Kanchipuram Silk Saree.

The latest Kanchi Pattu Silk Saris have crystals, kundans and beads. They make exclusive gifts on festive occasions, are preferred as grand bridal attire or are used as wear for special occasions like weddings, visit to temples during traditional festivals, cultural programs, big parties and birthdays.
The Kanchipuram Cotton Handloom Saree, which is soft and airy, with check patterns in attractive colour combinations, appealing motifs, elegant borders and pallus, is comfortable, appealing and preferred during summers.   


The South Handloom Kanchi Cotton Saree with its embroidered bootis and having silk or zari brocades as borders, is suitable wear for daily casual, corporate office, college and functions.
Whereas the fancy version having block prints with resham border is a fusion of trendy and ethnic, would be ideal as occasional wear for home makers and working women alike.
