Everything you see is yarn and loom: the pale striations are the ghicha itself, running lighter and darker along its length so the indigo never sits flat; the borders and pallu bands are real metallic zari, woven in rather than applied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe effect is quiet at rest and considerable in movement. Indigo absorbs light, silver throws it back, and the two are interleaved through the whole cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the fabric\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTussar Ghicha silk, handwoven in Bhagalpur. Ghicha is the yarn drawn from the outer layers of the cocoon and spun by hand — hence the slubby, uneven texture and the soft matte lustre rather than a flat shine. It has more body than plain tussar and holds a pleat beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it's for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eRestrained enough for a formal working day, dressy enough for a wedding evening.
