What is Brasso Fabric?

Brasso, similar to burnout and devore, is a textile technique in which a design is burned out of parts of the fabric. The term brasso is most often used in Indian fashion, for sarees and special-occasion clothing. Brasso is used to create sheer patterned elements offset by solids, such as in a blouse or a softly draping or pleated costume.Usually, Velvet Brasso can be found on chiffon, georgette or net bases with designs in multiple colours. The effect is often rich in texture & very attractive-this is why, Brasso Sarees are an eveningwear favourite.

Brasso has been around for years and has been a great source of creative inspiration for craftsman and designers across the world. From lehengas to saris, and salwar kurtas, brasso has been a defining niche of Indian fashion across various style spectrum. The fabric can vary from Chiffon to Velvet, and even Corduroy. Moreover, it can be textured in various ways and has an exclusive sense of style unlike other fabrics and designs.

Style & Variety

Several Indian designers like Sabyasachi and Manish Malhotra have experimented with brasso to a large extent and have used their creative genius to make the fabric popular across various mediums. Resham, zari, brocade, and patch work is very popular and such designs are common with gorgeous looking saris and lehengas. Net dresses and skirts look very trendy and chic as well, and are a classic hit with the youth. Backless and choli style blouses go very well with in brasso.

Maintenance

Brasso is a delicate fabric and therefore requires gentle care as well. Whether it’s a sari, salwar suit or a lehenga, one must send in their brasso made attires for dry cleaning in order to get the best results. Also, keeping the clothes in an air tight box is advisable in order to keep the longevity of the fabric, design and color.
