The gown was originally made of cotton, but later became popular with the help of silk, ikat, needlework, and tie-dye garments. The Sanskrit word” sari” is used to describe a strip of cloth. Over time, the material was also embellished with pricey gemstones and silver threads worn by society’s lower classes.
The introduction of colouring and printing techniques and the variety of silk increased with industrialization in India in the middle of the nineteenth century. The sari is now a second strip of unthreaded drape that can range in length from 4.5 meters to 9 meters long and 600 centimeters to 1.2 meters wide. It can also be made of synthetic fabrics like polyester and nylon as well as natural materials like cotton and silk.
While silk silk that are bright in color are preferred at happy occasions like weddings, cotton ones are typically worn for normal use and convenience. Today’s silk come in a wide range of colors and patterns, with some models evoking the customs and cultures of various Indian regions.
