This guide is to inform the buyer of the many types of fabrics, regions, and styles of Sarees out there which in turn will help them in making informed purchase decisions.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fabrics\"><\/span><strong><u>Fabrics<\/u><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cotton<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cotton sarees are also very much a part of daily wear because of their comfort and breathability. They do very well in our hot and humid weather. Within the cotton range we have Khadi, Bengal cotton, and Mysore cotton which have different textures and motifs. Also wearing of Khadi which is made from hand spun yarn is a sustainable choice that supports local artisans.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Silk<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Silk sarees are a symbol of luxury which we save for special occasions like festivals and weddings. The shiny material flows which in turn adds to the grace of the wearer. Also, each region has its own unique silk Satika\u00a0which include Kanjivaram from Tamil Nadu, Banarasi from Varanasi and Tussah from Jharkhand. Each has its own set of exclusive weaving patterns and motifs.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Georgette and Chiffon<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These light fabrics are great for draping, and we see that georgette is a step up in weight from chiffon also which usually has very fine details and embroidery. Georgette does very well at parties and in the evening and is a fabric which brings together style and ease.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sarees_In_Different_Regions\"><\/span><strong>Sarees In Different Regions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>North India<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>North India is famous for its colorful sarees, especially the Banarasi saree in its gold and silver embroidery.
