KAR-SR-016
Like dew settled on a deep blue night — tiny points of silver scattered across darkness. Shabnam is quiet beauty made wearable.
- Colour – Indigo navy with silver-white
- Technique – Handloom Banarasi weave — fine silver-white resham buti and leafy motifs that shimmer like morning dew, framed by an ornate floral border in the same silvery thread
- Fabric – Soft pure cotton — understated, breathable
- Speciality – Old-world grace for everyday wear. Shabnam is for the woman who finds luxury in the everyday.
- Karghaa Promise – One loom. One weaver. One of a kind.
Every Karghaa weave carries the small, human signatures of the loom — a thread that wavers, a motif that breathes. These are not flaws. They are proof that hands, not machines, made this just for you.
The blouse worn by the model is for styling purposes only. The saree comes with its own attached, unstitched blouse piece.

This guide offers general draping advice. For the exact saree length, blouse piece and fabric of a particular piece, please use the measurements on its product page.
Saree Length & Fit
- Saree length: Check the measurements on the product page; lengths vary by piece.
- Blouse piece: Check the product page for what is included and its exact dimensions.
- Petticoat: Not included. We recommend a well-fitted petticoat matched to your saree's fall length — ideally 2–3 inches shorter than your saree.
- Height guide: Compare the listed saree length with a saree you already wear. If you need extra pleats or have a specific drape in mind, contact us before ordering.
Choosing Your Blouse Size
- Since the blouse piece is unstitched, we recommend visiting a trusted tailor with your latest bust, waist, and blouse-length measurements.
- For heavier Banarasi fabrics like katan silk or tissue, ask your tailor for an inner lining — it helps the blouse hold its shape and feel more comfortable through long wear.
- If you'd like, we can share a basic measurement sheet — just reach out to us on WhatsApp.
How to Drape a Banarasi Saree
- Start at the waist. Tuck the plain end of the saree into your petticoat at the right side of your navel, wrapping it once around your waist, left to right.
- Make the pleats. Gather 5–7 even pleats from the remaining length, keeping the border aligned. Tuck the pleats in at the centre front, just left of the navel.
- Bring the pallu around. Take the remaining fabric (the pallu) around your back, over the left shoulder, and let it fall to your desired length in front or back.
- Pin for security. A small safety pin at the shoulder and at the waistline keeps everything in place through the day, especially with heavier Banarasi weaves.
- Set the pallu. For Banarasi silks with heavy zari borders, a few soft pleats in the pallu (rather than leaving it flat) shows off the weave beautifully.
A Note on Handloom Weight
Pure Banarasi silk, especially katan and tissue weaves with real zari, tends to be heavier and structured compared to printed or machine-made sarees. This is a feature, not a flaw — it's what gives the saree its characteristic drape and shine. First-time Banarasi wearers may want to practice draping once before the occasion.
