Chanderi Tissue Fabrics

Because Chanderi tissue is naturally sheer, it requires careful planning regarding the inner lining. We recommend pairing it with a high-quality santoon or silk-blend lining to ensure your garment maintains its structure and opacity without losing the fabric's delicate, airy movement.

Handling Chanderi Tissue

When you select Chanderi tissue, you are choosing a fabric that balances transparency with a unique, crisp sheen. It does not drape like georgette or crepe. Instead, it holds its shape, making it an excellent choice for outfits where you want to maintain a structured silhouette, such as a flared lehenga, a structured kurta, or a heavy dupatta.

Where It Works Best

• Festive Suits and Kurtas: The transparency works well when layered over solid-colored linings or contrasting base fabrics.
• Sarees and Dupattas: The lightweight nature makes it a comfortable choice for long events, as it doesn't weigh you down like heavier silks.
• Evening Wear: The subtle, natural shimmer of the tissue reflects light effectively, making it a great option for evening functions or wedding guest outfits.

Tailoring Tips

Since this fabric is delicate, remind your tailor to handle it with care to avoid snagging the threads. If you are stitching a lehenga, use a stiff canvas interlining at the hem if you want more volume. For a kurta, a simple, color-matched cotton lining is often enough to keep it breathable.
