Satin Silk sarees are sleek creations, Satin silk sarees are smooth creations from silk

The Satin Silk Saree is a satin fabric made from silk. It is the fabric weave, resulting from a natural fibre such as silk or from synthetic fibers such as Rayon, Nylon or Polyester or any such, woven in a certain way. By its very definition, Satin is known to have a glossy surface or sheen on one side and a dull lacklustre finish on the other. When a natural fibre like cotton which has short staples is used to make Satin, it is known as Sateen.

Satin is generally used for making items of apparel, mostly for women. It also finds use in clothing accessories for men and interior furnishings.

The lustre of the Satin Silk Saree comes from a special arrangement of warp and weft threads during the weaving process. Warp is the lengthwise lay of thread i.e.threads stretched lengthwise on the beam for weaving. Weft is the thread which is led breadth wise across the warp threads; over, under or interwoven, through spool, shuttle or some other arrangement.    

There are two ways that a satin fabric is woven. One with warp threads dominating or lying over the weft threads known as warp faced satin and the other with the weft threads lying over the warp threads known as weft faced satin. 

The Satin Silk Saree is woven with interlacings of warp and weft but with a difference. The warp threads lie on top of the weft threads but the inter-weave is not continuous. The warp thread ‘floats’ or passes over two or more weft threads, goes under an equal number of them and again comes out. This is followed for the width of the saree. The next warp thread goes under the weft threads and similarly comes out after a fixed number of them. This forms a closely arranged diagonal pattern that has no gaps in between. 

The gloss on the saree is achieved on account of this close arrangement of yarn or threads. This shine or lustre akin to silk has made many opine that a fabric woven as satin should only be considered so, if it is woven from silk. The Satin Silk Saree derives its strength and durability from the Silk yarn and its gloss or sheen from the Satin weave.   

An appealing feature of the Satin Silk Saree is that it is a ‘breathing’ fabric, as compared to Satin sarees made from synthetic fibres.

Cost-wise, while Silk Satins would be the costliest, Polyester Satins could be the cheapest. The Satin Silk Saree is definitely cheaper than a Pure Silk Saree.

The care of the Satin Saree lies in the properties of the fibre that is used in its weaving. If it is a Satin Silk Saree, then as Silk is the base material,only dry cleaning is recommended. If a synthetic fibre be used to make the Saree, then based on the fibre, anywhere from hand wash to machine wash could be allowed.

There are interesting variations of the Satin Silk Saree that appeal to modern tastes.

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.

Banarasi Saree is a royal fabric, unnatisilks Banarasi saree is popular even in moden avatar

The Banarasi saree is from Benares or Varanasi. Known for its gold and silver brocade or zari work, it is generally accompanied by rich embroidery, intricate designs and engravings. Designs from the Mughal period are mainly the base for these engravings, such as floral intertwining, motifs of leaves on the borders and the body. Kimkhab, potthan, betta and amru are some of the famous brocades woven on banarasi saris. 

Other distinctive features are heavy gold work, intricate weaving, detailing work, metallic effects which contribute to the richness and grandeur of the saree. In the proccess, they also make the fabric slightly heavy.

The finery and trappings of the Banarasi Saree are reason enough for it to figure in any Indian wedding. As Bridal attire, it provides an extremely rich look and feel for the occasion. Based on design the Banarasi sari has been classified as Pure Silk, Organza, Georgette and Shattir. Again based on cut methods they are classified differently.

Beautiful combinations for Banarasi Sarees have evolved and are suitable for different ocasions.

Designer banarasi pure silk sarees richly woven with intricate beautiful zari brocades, jamdhani work, floral and foliage motifs are much loved by bollywood celebrities and are a ‘hit’ for Indian weddings. 

Banarasi sari having border decorated with kundans, pearls, beads and sequins is extremely stylish. With Jhallar work enhancing the beauty of the sari further it is a grand affair for festivals and important social occasions. 

An Indian designer pure Banarasi brocade saree having ‘jal’ (net) at the borders, rich embroidery on the net and with an elegant pallu is very charming, and most apt for weddings, functions and suited as bridal attire.

An exclusively hand crafted design on banarasi patola cotton saree makes it uniquely stylish and a good choice for college parties and traditional festivals.

The Banarasi supernet sari embellished with zari embroidery and stones, gives the wearer a sensuous look. It is appropriate to wear on occasions like marriage anniversary or special invites.

Other trendy eye-catchers have innovative blends of tussar silk and jute fabrics. Brilliant colour combinations and contrast borders with designer pallus have been experimented with viscose art silk, with jamdhani style woven buttis and banarasi patchwork for enhanced appeal. 

The weaving could take anywhere up to a month or even several, based on the designs and trappings chosen for the Banarasi Saree. Methods are being adopted to extract natural colours from plants, flowers and fruits to address environmental concerns, but still much needs to be done.

An estimated population of over 10 lakhs is associated with the Banarasi Silk Saree industry from Banaras and its surrounding areas such as Gorakhpur, Bhadohi, Jaunpur.

Over a period of time, the industry has suffered on account of mechanized loom productions claiming the label of Banarasi Sari, on account of their being located in Banaras and nearby areas. The Geographical Indication (GI) rights for Banaras brocades and sarees awarded in 2009 to six districts of Varanasi, Mirzapur, Chandauli, Bhadohi, Jaunpur and Azamgarh districts, gave legal rights to the traditional weavers of these areas and a trade boost to this traditional weave to see better days.

The Banarasi Saree with its wide-ranging and far-reaching combinations, in a fusion of traditional and trending seamlessly ‘woven’ together, continues to remain the much sought after fabric that it always has been.
