  1. THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND WHILE BUYING BANARASI LEHENGA

  2. The Banarasi silk is one of India's most elaborate and gorgeous textiles, used for special events and weddings all around the nation. For its unrivaled beauty and magnificence, this classic is adored by many generations as a saree. Banarasi silk is only made in the historic city of Varanasi and its surrounding villages, using particular weaving techniques and motifs. To buy the perfect Banarasi lehenga is every woman's dream. Although A Banarasi silk saree is everyone’s first preference, the Banarasi lehenga has become increasingly popular among young and urban women.

  3. But to buy a perfect Banarasi Lehenga, a lot needs to be kept in mind. • First and foremost is to identify if the fabric of the Lehenga is of original Handwoven Banarasi Silk or not. When purchasing a Banarasi Silk Lehenga, it is essential to consider the quality of the threads used in the manufacturing process. Lehengas with pure yarn fabrics are more costly than synthetic mixes since they are of greater quality. Original gold and silver threads were used traditionally which is now being replaced with colored silver and gold threads to make it more accessible to everyone. The designers of today who are dealing in handloom and handwoven garments have resorted to the traditional weave. Any banarasi specialist would tell you that authentic gold zari does not shine and instead emits a gentle, muted luster. So, the simplest method to tell whether the yarn is false is to look at how brightly the metal threads sparkle. If they are too glowing, they are not genuine. The texture of the best banarasi Lehengas in India will have tiny variances in it's evenness, which will be evident. Source: Things to keep in mind while buying BanarasiLehenga

  4. The weaving techniques also play a great role in determining if the Lehenga is of Genuine Banarasi Silk. Simply flip it and look for floating between the warps and wefts sections. Because this warp and weft floats can only be found in a handwoven saree. If the floats aren't visible, the fabric of the Lehenga is a counterfeit machine-made fabric. Mughal themes such as Amru, Ambi, and Domak will appear on every authentic Banarasi Saree. Also, look for delicate flower and botanical designs to tell the difference between the original and a copy. This is something I believe any newcomer would be aware of and understand. Source: Things to keep in mind while buying BanarasiLehenga

  5. The softness of real silk is unmistakable. A true silk banarasi, on the other hand, will seem and feel like fluid. When it comes to distinguishing between authentic and imitation banarasi Lehenga, the amount of butis on the Lehenga fabric plays a significant role i.e. the number of butis by hand will always, always be lesser than what machines can do. It is because the motifs of the butis woven in banarasi silk are very traditional and have been made since ages, so they are very common in nature and hence are replicated by machine made Banarasi silk very easily and hence are the counterfeits of the original Banarasi Saree.

  6. Another predominant thing before you buy a Banarasi Lehenga is to keep a check on the occasion for which you are buying. For instance, A red or maroon Banarasi with a good amount of woven embellishments, huge themes and work is a very common choice of fabric for your Lehenga if it is for your own wedding. Since time immemorial the brides in India have been wearing it. You can go for a subtle colored Lehenga like a pastel pink, grey or yellow with lesser woven embellishments if you are choosing the Banarasi silk fabric to wear at your friend’s wedding. A bright colored Banarasi Lehenga in a royal blue shade with vertical woven embellishments would be a perfect fit if you are someone tall. Apart from that, choosing the right silhouette for your Lehenga is a very important factor based on your body shape. It is also important you choose the color of the Banarasi silk Lehenga which accentuates your skin tone. Source: Things to keep in mind while buying BanarasiLehenga
