These sarees are made from a different type of silk thread called Chiniya. It is similar to Katan silk, and has much better shine and can be dyed after weaving, just like chiffon sarees. This fabric is mostly used in lehengas, ethnic wear, angrakha, designer sarees and party wear garments. These sarees are simple yet look stunning and can be worn as an affordable alternative to the Banarasi silk sarees on any occasion.
