Behind this piece
Tissue fabric carries within its threads a legacy of luminosity. Woven with a silk or metallic warp that catches light at every angle, tissue has long been favoured by the courts of Banaras and the ateliers of Lucknow, where the interplay of translucence and surface embellishment was considered high art. Here, that heritage meets hand-guided tambour work, with sequins and floral embroidery laid across grounds of Almond Buff, Candy Pink, Lucite Green, and Paisley Purple. Each colour shifts as the fabric moves, making the embroidery appear to float rather than sit upon the cloth.
How to style
For a formal evening, fashion an anarkali or floor-length lehenga in Paisley Purple and pair it with polki or kundan earrings and block-heeled mojris. Lucite Green cut into a structured kurta works beautifully for a festive afternoon, worn over wide-leg palazzo trousers with oxidised silver bangles. Candy Pink lends itself to a bridal or pre-wedding function when draped as an unstitched saree or stitched into a cape blouse; complete the look with pearl-drop earrings and strappy gold sandals. Almond Buff suits a cocktail jacket layered over a silk slip.
Fabric & care
Tissue is a delicate weave and will not tolerate machine agitation. Dry-clean whenever possible to preserve the sequin thread and embroidered motifs. If hand-washing is necessary, use cold water with a mild, pH-neutral detergent, submerge briefly, and never wring or twist the fabric. Roll it gently in a clean cotton towel to remove excess moisture, then dry flat in shade away from direct sunlight. Store folded in soft muslin, never hung, to prevent the tissue from stretching at the grain. Avoid contact with rough surfaces that can snag the sequin work.
