If you read my previous blog, “Love is the Final Fight – Tiffany’s Mission Around the World", then you learned a little about my journey over the last year as I traveled to South America, Europe, and Asia. Living life around fabrics for seven years prior to this trip altered the way I see the world. I now have a “fabric doppler” that always finds new and beautiful fabrics!

Let’s talk about the Indian Saree. The beautiful flowing silk Saree’s adorned with breathtaking embroidered designs worn by Indian women have been a world-wide curiosity almost since their inception. Living in India for a month, I saw thousands of women dressed in these beautiful vibrant fabrics. It is a single piece of fabric woven on a loom with silk or cotton threads. Silk charmeuse is a high end lightweight fabric woven in a satin weave which creates a smooth surface on one side of the fabric. The resulting product has a soft hand and insulates well.
