Re: This fabric?

^It’s just the embroidery or lace which is called gota and not the fabric? :hmmm:

I need to make a sari blouse with this fabric.

Re: This fabric?

I think what the material above is Gota.

But for a saree blouse Lamee would look better and Gota would look tacky.

Re: This fabric?

If it is a thin strip....up to 4" or 5" then it might be gota but I think that the stuff being used in these outfits is lame.

And yes....I agree with TLK.....it is lame.

Re: This fabric?

i hate it. looks like aluminum foil.

Re: This fabric?

Yeah but I’ve seen people wearing gold or silver cholis or blouses in this material…but then again…perhaps it was banarsi or jamawar material. :confused:

Re: This fabric?

Manish Malhotra starting putting it on the bottom boarders of his lenghas and sarees a year or two ago, and it makes the whole outfit so cheap looking.

lame dresses can done pretty nicely though.
