The luxurious feel of Kerala silk sarees
If you see someone go swishing about in a light to pale colored transparent to translucent saree, you may have guessed right by calling it the organza variety. Organza a thin weave, sheer fabric, traditionally woven from silk is also woven from synthetic fabric materials like polyester or nylon. Its uses are mainly as smooth feel fabrics of style and in the creation of furnishings to make an environment with luxurious feel.
The special feel and appeal of Organza silk
In fabrics organza assumes a feel from very smooth to slightly coarse based on how finely it is woven. Having a matte or slightly lacklustre finish, it is dull in appearance and does not reflect light as well as silk or some other fabrics like chiffon. Organza despite its thin and delicate appearance has quite good strength and is primarily used in the making of evening dresses, sarees, bridal trousseaus, as dress trimmings and inner linings in ready fabrics and drapes like curtains, airy separators for large spaces and such.
A great advantage of organza fabrics is its very good affinity to colours and hence one can find a whole range of apparel of pleasing and varied colours and shades. In addition, the fineness of the fabric allows prints and text to be transferred with the use of a computer and allied equipment onto the fabric directly. This quality makes it available for graphical images and many other effects to be superimposed on top of a textured background, creating a magical illusory effect.
The balanced plain-weave organza is a fabric woven from thin and continuous filaments of natural fibres as silk, or synthetic fibres as nylon or polyester, or their blends. The threads of warp and weft are of the same size and the number of threads within a given cross sectional area, too are same. The end-result is generally a checker-board appearance.
The appeal of Kerala sarees
Kerala sarees initially was a simple adaption of the
Mundum Neriyathum, the traditional attire of Malayali women in the South Indian state of Kerala. Plain white or cream in colour, with the golden zari borders, set off a dazzling white range of sarees, worn mainly for the Onam and other prominent festivals, later extended to exclusive occasions. The contrasting bright red, saffron or other eye-catching colour blouses gave a fine match to make the wearer shine and sparkle.
As time went by white got replaced by other colors and the only adornment of zari lined borders was soon accompanied or replaced with other forms of adornment like multi-colored borders, embroidery,
light additions like kundans, sequins etc.
But despite the change there has been a constant when it comes to colour. Kerala sarees have always maintained their penchant for vibrant colors or bright contrasts.
