Understanding Fabric Quality & Authenticity

What Makes Khadi Silk Special?

The Spinning Process: Khadi silk begins with hand-spun cotton and silk fibers on traditional charkhas (spinning wheels). This manual process:

• Creates yarn with natural irregularities that add character
• Produces stronger fibers than machine-spun alternatives
• Connects each garment to India's freedom movement legacy
• Supports rural artisan communities

The Weaving Technique: Master weavers use pit looms or frame looms to create the fabric:

• Each meter takes 3-4 hours of manual weaving
• Allows for custom color combinations and patterns
• Creates a distinctive texture impossible to replicate by machine
• Results in fabric that breathes better than synthetic alternatives

Silk Content Variations: Our collection includes different silk blends:

• Khadi Raw Silk (80-20 cotton-silk): Textured with matte finish, similar to linen feel
• Khadi Silk Blend (70-30 cotton-silk): Smooth with subtle sheen, balanced drape
• Premium Khadi Silk (60-40 cotton-silk): Luxurious sheen, excellent drape, party-ready

How to Identify Authentic Khadi Silk

Visual Inspection: ✓ Slight irregularities in weave (indicates handloom) ✓ Natural texture variations throughout fabric ✓ Matte to subtle sheen (not shiny like polyester) ✓ Visible weave pattern when held to light

Touch Test: ✓ Slightly coarse initial texture that softens with use ✓ Cool to touch initially, warms quickly with body heat ✓ Breathable – doesn't feel plastic or slippery ✓ Substantial weight without being heavy

Certification Marks: ✓ Khadi India Mark tag attached ✓ Hologram sticker indicating authenticity ✓ Handloom Mark label ✓ Manufacturer details and care instructions

Burn Test (advanced):

• Authentic khadi silk burns slowly
• Creates ash (not melting beads)
• Smells like burning hair/paper
• Does NOT smell like plastic

Complete Care Guide for Khadi Silk Kurtis

First Wash Instructions

Critical First Steps:

1. Soak Before First Wear: Immerse in cold water with 1 tablespoon salt for 30 minutes to set colors
2. Separate Wash: Wash alone to prevent color transfer
3. Gentle Detergent: Use mild, pH-neutral detergent (baby soap works well)
4. No Wringing: Never twist or wring khadi silk; gently squeeze excess water

Regular Washing

Hand Washing (Recommended):

1. Fill bucket with lukewarm water (not hot)
2. Add 1 tablespoon mild liquid detergent
3. Gently swirl kurti for 2-3 minutes
4. Let soak for 5-10 minutes
5. Rinse thoroughly in cold water until soap-free
6. Gently squeeze out water (don't twist)

Machine Washing (If Necessary):

• Use delicate/hand-wash cycle only
• Place in mesh laundry bag
• Cold water only
• Mild detergent in minimal quantity
• No fabric softener
• Remove immediately after cycle ends

Frequency:

• Wear 2-3 times before washing (unless stained)
• Over-washing reduces fabric life

Drying Instructions

Proper Drying: ✓ Air dry in shade (never direct sunlight) ✓ Hang on padded hangers to maintain shape ✓ Spread flat on clean towel for heavy embroidered pieces ✓ Avoid clothespins that can leave marks ✓ Ensure complete drying before storage (prevents mildew)

Never: ✗ Tumble dry (destroys khadi texture) ✗ Dry in direct sun (causes fading) ✗ Wring out water aggressively

Ironing & Pressing

Best Practices:

1. Iron while slightly damp for easy pressing
2. Use medium heat setting (silk setting on iron)
3. Iron on reverse side to protect embroidery
4. Use pressing cloth over embroidered areas
5. Light starch spray for crisp finish (optional)

H2: Size Guide & Perfect Fit

Standard Size Chart

Note: All measurements are body measurements, not garment measurements. Garments have additional ease of 2-3 inches for comfortable fit.

How to Take Your Measurements

Required Tools:

• Fabric measuring tape
• Mirror
• Helper (recommended for accuracy)

Measurement Instructions:

1. Bust:

• Wear a well-fitted bra
• Measure around the fullest part of your bust
• Keep tape parallel to ground

2. Waist:

• Measure at your natural waistline (narrowest part)
• Don't suck in your stomach
• Keep one finger between tape and body

3. Hip:

• Measure around the fullest part of your hips
• Usually 7-9 inches below waistline
• Stand with feet together

4. Shoulder to Floor (for kurti length):

• Measure from top of shoulder to floor
• Wear shoes you plan to pair with kurti
• Helps determine if standard length suits you

Choosing the Right Size

If Between Sizes:

• Prefer larger size for comfortable fit
• Consider the bottom wear style (palazzo needs more room)
• Check fabric stretch (khadi has minimal stretch)

For Specific Fits:

• Relaxed Fit: Choose one size up
• Fitted Look: Choose your exact size
• Pregnancy/Maternity: Choose 1-2 sizes up based on trimester

Alteration Friendly

All our kurtis have:

• Extra fabric in side seams (can be let out 1-2 inches)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

A: Currently, our kurtis come as ready-to-wear sets in standard sizes (S to XXL). However, they are alteration-friendly and can be easily adjusted by local tailors.

Q4: How long does the embroidery last?

A: With proper care (hand washing, gentle handling), the embroidery will last the lifetime of the garment. Hand embroidery is more durable than machine embroidery.

A: Yes, we offer easy 7-day returns. Products should be unworn with original tags. Return shipping is customer's responsibility. See our return policy for details.

A: For short-term: hang on padded hangers in breathable cotton garment bags. For long-term: clean thoroughly, fold with tissue paper, store in cotton bags with camphor, in cool dry place.
