Best Fabrics to Wear in Hot and Humid Summer Weather

Linen

A natural fiber made from flax plants, Linen is known for its cool feel and comfort. It is perfect summer wear which is available in soothing shades which will make you look swanky and help you relax in the summer heat.

Linen is another top choice for a breathable fabric to wear in hot weather conditions. It is also very light and is loosely woven which allows heat to escape from the body. It absorbs a lot of moisture and dries quickly, keeping you cool and dry. It tends to be stiff, but that also means that it is not sticking to your body. Linen also wrinkles pretty often, but a lot of people like it, and view it as a part of the style and look of linen.

How much Do you Know about Lehenga?

The Lehanga Choli also known as Lehanga, is a three-piece attire comprising the Lehanga, a long Indian skirt worn by Indian women across India. Secured at the waist with the mid-riff left bare, lehenga is usually worn on ceremonial occasions, festivals as Wedding. It is generally embroidered, printed or embellished and is worn with a fitting blouse called ‘choli’. Additionally, the Lehanga Choli is paired with a ‘dupatta’ which acts as a sari pallu and covers the mid-riff and head, depending on how one wishes to drape it, going by the occasion.

  Background

Lehanga Choli became popular as an attire amongst women mainly in North India, during the 10th century. The lehenga evolved through fine craftsmanship with the arrival of Mughals in India and their subsequent rule from the 12th to the 18th century. The original, ancient form of lehenga was mainly stitched from cotton, after which royal fabrics and embroideries like Silk and  brocade were used, making Lehanga further evolve into Royal Attire.

  The Making

The intricate stitching of a Lehanga choli dupatta set or a Ghagra choli takes about a minimum of twenty days depending on factors like the fabric, embellishments. Hand-stitched, hand-woven Lehangas end up taking longer owing to the detailing that goes into it. Often, communities exclusively into designing Lehangas have clear tasks allotted to them, which forms part of the whole making process.

 Varieties

 Lehenga Choli continues to undergo transitions with time, with cultural influences molding its silhouette or style in the multiple versions of the Lehenga Choli known to us today. Talking of traditional styles, there are a lot of variations to the lehenga – the Sharara, Gharara and Lacha. The Sharara, Lacha and Gharara are lower attires, emerging from the 18th and 19th century and resemble flared pants. The common trait in all the three outfits is that they are three piece outfits comprising a Blouse, long skirt, and a dupatta and are most popular as wedding outfits. The Sharara has a joint below or at the knee level, while the skirt below spreads out. The Sharara is worn with a Kurti and one or more dupattas. When two dupattas are worn, one is usually used as a veil and the other is draped on the shoulders. It is generally worn on weddings.

Ghagras are another form of conventional skirt, but the difference lies in the gathers or pleats that the ghagra has around the waist and the lehenga is more form fitting and is cut in an ‘A’ line. Ghagra cholis come in many avatars; cotton chaniya cholis which are worn by women from Rajasthan and Gujarat, party wear ghagra cholis usually stitched in georgette, crepe, or silk. Wedding ghagra cholis are detailed with a lot of heavy embellishments like bead, Swarovski crystals, rhinestones, kundan, sequins and lot more in vibrant colors and patterns. Tie and dye ghagra cholis, bead & mirror work lehenga choli are also popular.

The Gharara is only a Sharara divided into two and has a concentration of work at the knee also known as the goat. Lacha comprises a long blouse which almost comes to the length of knees. The skirt design may be same as the lehenga or ghagra. This is the type of ghagra with slight variation in the blouse. There are plenty of variations to the traditional lehenga – Lancha and Sharara.

 Innovations

 The Lehenga has also imbibed and merged with modern influences and global trends. The Lehanga Style Saree is one of the latest Indian ethnic innovations doing the rounds that merge the saree and lehenga silhouette into one. The lower half comprises a ready-made sari with pleats, fall and drapes resembling the flared portrait of lehenga, with a zip or knot at the waist side for adjustments. The upper half of the attire has to be tucked and wrapped around once which resembles the pallu of the saree. The Anarkali Lehenga is another recent innovation that the Lehenga has undergone.

In terms of fitting or silhouettes, lehenga cholis are designed in A-line, Straight cut, Umbrella cut and Fish cut or Mermaid cut silhouettes. Then again, from being stitched with primary fabrics like cotton or silk in the earlier centuries, the lehenga is much experimented with in terms of fabric now. Fabrics that lehengas are stitched from now include satin, cotton blends, velvet, crepe, georgette and other material.

 Present Day Scenario

From tailoring the lehenga choli in modern silhouettes to lending designer elements, urban motifs and styles, the Lehenga Choli is constantly being given a new avatar. Topnotch designers such as Manish Malhotra, Sabyasachi Mukherjee, Anita Dongre, Anju Modi and some others have also gone ahead to give a contemporary touch to Lehenga Choli.

 Wearing Lehenga

 Lehengas are mainly worn to very special events such as weddings, parties and festivities. However, depending on the amount of detailing on the lehenga, one can team it with ethnic jewelry, like kundan, polka, Minakari, etc.

For climatic suitability, Lehengas can be worn all year long, thanks to the options available in fabric. The lehengas in fabrics like brocade, velvet, satin and silk are best suited for winters. Lighter fabrics like Silk, Georgette and crepe can be worn in the summers.

 Maintenance

Lehengas and ghagra cholis need to be dry cleaned due to the multiple colors, fabrics used and the embellishments on them. These outfits should be stored in a dry place wrapped in plastic or a clean white cloth to prevent the metal decorations from tarnish. Dry-cleaning these outfits is the ideal way of maintaining them.

How much Do you Know about Organza Fabric?

What Is Organza?

Organza is a lightweight, sheer, plain-woven fabric that was originally made from silk.

The material can also be made from synthetic fibers, primarily polyester and nylon. Synthetic fabrics are slightly more durable, but the fabric is very delicate and prone to frays and tears.

Organza is also characterized by very small holes throughout the fabric, which are the spaces between the warp and weft thread in the plain-weave pattern. The quality of organza is defined as the number of holes per inch—more holes indicate better quality organza. Organza is extremely popular for wedding gowns and evening wear, as it has a shimmery and translucent quality which creates decadent silhouettes

How much Do you Know about Georgette Fabric?

What Is Georgette?

Georgette is a type of crêpe fabric that is typically made from pure silk but can also be made from synthetic fibers like rayon, viscose, and polyester. French dressmaker Georgette de la Plante introduced the eponymous silk fabric in the early twentieth century.

The silk fabric is sheer     and lightweight and has a dull, matte finish.

Silk Georgette is very     similar to silk chiffon, which is also a type of crêpe fabric, but     Georgette not as sheer as chiffon because of the tighter weave.

Georgette fabrics are     sometimes sold in solid colours but georgette can be printed and often     boasts colourful floral prints.

How much Do you Know about Taffeta Silk?

Taffeta Silk

What Is Taffeta?

Taffeta is a crisp, plain-woven fabric made most often from silk, but it can also be woven with polyester, nylon, acetate, or other synthetic fibers. Taffeta fabric typically has a lustrous, shiny appearance. Taffeta can vary in weight from light to medium and in levels of sheerness, depending on the type of fiber used and the tightness of the weave.

Taffeta was first produced in the Middle East in the twelfth century, and the word taffeta comes from the Persian word “taftah” meaning “crisp, woven.”

How Is Taffeta Made?

Taffeta is made using the plain-weave technique, which has a single weft thread going over and under a single warp thread, creating a checkerboard pattern. What makes taffeta unique is that the threads are twisted as they are woven, which creates the stiffness and structure of the resulting fabric.

Taffeta was originally made from silk, but in the twentieth century, manufacturers began weaving taffeta out of semi-synthetic fibers like rayon and synthetic fibers like nylon, polyester, and acetate. Polyester taffeta is the most popular type of taffeta today, as it is inexpensive and mimics silk well.

Here is a Lehenga made of Taffeta Silk.

How much Do you Know about Silk?

Comprised of a natural protein fiber, silk mainly consists of fibroin, which is a protein that certain types of insect larvae secrete to make cocoons. While other insects also produce silk-like substances, most of the world���s silk is derived from Bombyx mori larvae, which are worms that only live on mulberry trees.

In certain lighting conditions, silk produces a shimmering optical effect, which is due to the triangular prism-like structure of silk fibers. These prisms reflect light at various angles, which results in the subtle rainbow hue that has made silk so famous.

What do you know about Silk?

Silk fabric is made from the natural fiber of the cocoons of the caterpillars and is known for shining. It is called as “Resham” in the North India, “Pattu” in the South India and “Paat” in the North East India.

The best-known silk is obtained from the cocoons of the larvae of the mulberry silkworm which is reared in captivity.

The shining appearance of silk is due to the triangular prism-like structure of the silk fiber, which allows silk cloth to refract incoming light at different angles, thus producing different colours. China and India are the top silk producing nations of the world.

Quick Tip:

Silk is perfect to be worn in all weathers as it is natural fiber.
