Chiffon sarees in simple designs are pretty ubiquitous and largely undistinguished. What the Banarasi weave does for chiffon is introduce an element of visual intricacy that simple chiffon doesn’t have. The intricate zari patterns add some sparkle. The detailing in the border section adds form to an inherently flowing fabric. The pallu has substance without the heavy hand of a silk body to it. The Banarasi weave transforms chiffon from casual fabric into proper occasion wear without losing any of its comfort benefits.
