Bridal Duppatta

TAMMY123 · December 8, 2009, 2:49pm

Ok if you wanted to have a duppata that you can see your hair through, so quite a see through one, what kind of fabric would that be. Most bridal duppatas are quite heavy.

I’m thinking a see throughish duppata with lots of little diamantes all over would look really pretty.

If any one has any pics of tjis, would be greatly appreciated.

I thought it was georgette?

Either way, I love that look as well

Georgette is too slippery.

Re: Bridal Duppatta

nope, not at all. it's a shiny fabric on one side, heavier than silk.

Re: Bridal Duppatta

Re: Bridal Duppatta

I just got my outfit done with a benarsi net dupatta in khaki/gold, and adding a 2" green silk border on all four sides for weight (so it stays on the head).

Benarsi net is different from regular nylon net, MUCH finer and has a slight shimmer since it's woven with gold, and it has buties all over - looks really pretty!

My criteria was also that it should be as see-through as possible - because the kaam on the outfit is breathtakingly beautiful, and I didn't want to hide any of it.

Benarsi net is available in loads of colours but from what I've seen, but the buties are all the same (round) and all gold.

You can also try a georgette+tissue blend that I've seen around - it's soft and flowy unlike proper tissue, and somewhat sheer as well.
