Why handloom fabric will never go out of Style

With increased awareness of the fashion industry's negative impact on the environment, people have started to show a massive desire for handmade and hand-loomed items.

They realize the value and specialty handmade pieces bring to the table and in one's life. There is something special about handloom fabrics, it not only provides exclusive textiles, but the mastery of handloom fabrics is unique, authentic, and artistic.

The people behind creating this fabric have put significant effort, love, and passion into making these beautiful textiles.

So ever wondered what really are handloom fabrics?

What are handloom fabrics?

So, before learning about handloom fabrics, let us know what a loom is first.

A loom is a machine operated to weave cloth and tapestry. The primary purpose of any loom is to hold the warp threads under tension to stimulate the weft threads' interweaving to create a textile.

Further, handloom fabrics are handwoven fabrics created on this weaving machine.

To create a handloom fabric, the weaver starts the process by interlacing a set of vertical threads(the warp) with a bunch of horizontal threads(the weft).

Then the loom holds the warp threads under tension to facilitate the interweaving of the weft threads over and above the warp using a weaving shuttle. Finally, the weaver repeats the interweaving process until the handloom fabric is created.

Handloom weaving requires the utmost patience, artistry, technical skills, and physical strength.

Creating handloom fabrics is not just about protecting nature but also about love. The weaver's passionate about what they are making, they put their heart and soul into creating this textile. They select the yarn, pattern, color, texture, and accurate technique to create the suitable fabric, and it's reflected on the material.

Handloom fabrics don't feature just one type of fabric, instead, it comes in a variety of rich colors, patterns, and designs.

The reason handloom fabrics have wide varieties is that it's directly linked to the culture of each community. They have passed on their designs from generation to and formed an identity of their own.

Advantages of handloom fabrics:-

Originality and Uniqueness

The most significant advantage of handloom fabric is that no two hand-loomed materials are the same. Each fabric exhibits unique craftsmanship.

Variousness

As the handloom allows the weavers to explore their creativity in creating beautiful textiles, they explore new ideas and make some extravagant designs and patterns.

Quality

The fibers used to create handloom fabrics are high-quality natural fibers like cotton, linen, silk, and wool; these are environmentally friendly and long-lasting fabrics.

Good for the skin

The handlooms use natural fibers that protect the skin and don't harm it. In addition, it feels good on the skin, unlike synthetic fiber.

Skill preservation and source of livelihood

Since ancient times handloom has proved to be a great source of livelihood across rural India. Even today, the handloom community has preserved its heritage and employs numerous people.

Types of Handloom Fabrics:

Khadi: Khadi, the hand-spun fabric, referred to as the hope of our environment is a fabric known for our nation's freedom struggle, representing the love for our country and its people.

It is made by using natural fiber and is woven so that this fabric will keep the body cool during summer and warm during winter.

Kala Cotton: Kala Cotton is an organic woven textile that allows for sustainable living, as the production is purely ecological with no pesticides and synthetic fertilizers used. It is durable, strong, and stretchable, and it takes dye brilliantly

Tussar Silk: Tussar Silk is the strongest natural textile in the world. The fabric is highly breathable with high moisture-wicking abilities. Despite its immense tensile strength, its softness has made it a hotly desired commodity throughout history.

Mulberry: Mulberry silk is the highest quality silk that is smooth to the touch and has a glossy look. It is one of the oldest types of silk fabric that comes from moth cocoons.

What makes mulberry silk different from other silks is the uniform quality of the fibers. The diameter, color, and texture of a strand of mulberry silk are the same from one cocoon to another.

Muga Silk: Muga Silk follows the path of Ahimsa, meaning not causing harm to other living things. Therefore, this silk is produced without killing the creatures that crafted it. Instead, this silk is a step towards appreciating and supporting the beautiful soul and nature that created it.

Banana: Banana fabric is developed from the outer lining of banana peels. This fabric is one of the most luxurious fabrics. It is soft like silk on the inside and hard like cotton on the outside, making it one of the best fabrics to create comfortable, long-lasting, quality garments, decors, and accessories.

Organic Cotton: Organic cotton comes with various benefits for our environment and our people. For example, this fabric doesn't retain chemicals from its garments, due to which it reduces exposure to allergens and dermatological issues.

The use of organic cotton benefits the farmer as they are exposed to fewer chemicals.

There are so many benefits and types of handloom fabrics that they can never get out of style.

Bonded Crepe in ‘68: Butterick 4872

This fabric has the slight A-line shape that became popular during the 1960s as well as the tending towards mini-skirt length of a clearly above the knee. Real mini-skirts would work their way up all the the upper thigh which made them hard to move in without tights or pantyhose. You can see patterned tights on the pink model along with matching look, a monochromatic look.

Notice the pink is a dressy evening look with up-do, sparkly buttons and bangles, matching shoes and white gloves. Although the fashion pendulum was swinging towards informality for most every activity in life, formal dress for public occasions of all kinds was still common for most adult women into the early 1970s and for some far beyond that. The greige (grey/beige) model on the left is also formal. Notice again the white gloves and a hat, but the buttons are as sober as the color of the dress. This would by daytime wear.

The A-line shape in these dresses almost becomes an empire line by the shaped yoke which ends in gathers and buttons right under the bust line. The gathers continue around the back and thus a rectangular shape narrows towards the shoulders. The belt and buttons are only for decoration, to emphasize the cut of the garment; they don’t actually close anything.

The dress was meant to stand away from the body which explains the confused list of fabrics recommended: “Soft and Crisp Fabrics such as Synthetic Mixtures, Linen, Bonded Crepe, and Dress Weight Wool” (no idea why the caps). Bonded fabrics were created by the manufacturer with interfacing already bonded with heat-sensitive glue. They did this to knits which defeated the purpose of knits by eliminated the stretch. Similarly, the whole idea of crepe is drape, so bonding it to an interfacing in order to stiffen it up defeats the purpose of crepe. And if you decided to use a non-bonded fabric, they instructed you to underline the entire dress to create the stiffness you wanted which also makes the idea of using soft fabrics a lot more work.

Of course, you may love some soft fabric and want to use it for such a dress, but my policy is go with the drape it possesses as that may be one of the reasons you love it. I actually think this dress would have worked best with a light-weight melton, not unlike that stunner of a dress Dior created which Augusta Auctions sold that I mentioned in a recent post. The fabric has stiffness built into it.

okay so i’ve been sewing this milkmaid dress for, an entire year, not that i’ve been WORKING on it consistently for the whole year, i was working on it last august/september/october but then i, had the pinched nerve in both wrists situation, so i stopped working on for a while, and then got into other hobbies for, a while, and just last month or so finally got back into sewing the dress, and i was so worried about it not fitting that i basted in the zipper to check and tried it on and it fits PERFECTLY and i’m just so fucking THRILLED this dress is ADORABLE and looks SO CUTE and FITS!! and it’s FINALLY ALMOST DONEEEEEEEE

#the only thing i could've done differently was i should've used just a smidge shorter elastic in the top of the sleeves #bc they don't super want to stay up. like they will but you can tell. they don't want to. so the elastic should've been just a bit shorter #i forget how long i even cut it though. 10 inches???? something like that????? idk.#just have to sew the zipper in for real (which.............no i am not looking forward to. who looks forward to a zipper???#who looks forward to HAND SEWING AN INVISIBLE ZIPPER???????)#and then sew the rest of the back together -- whip stitch those seams together so they don't fray #and then do the hem!!!!!#AND THEN. I HAVE THIS HALLOWEEN FABRIC I BOUGHT LAST YEAR WITH THE FABRIC FOR THIS DRESS #bc clearly i intended. to get this done last year.#but i'm gonna use that fabric and make like a. bustier dress with lace panels and a collar (hopefully)#then!!!! i recently bought EIGHT YARDS (at a very reasonable price) of mauve crepe so i could make myself a new years dress #clearly thinking in advance bc. how many times can i say it. i hand sew.#and i want to make a fancy new years dress for yknow the living room new years eve party #and i'm really looking forward to that!!!! might actually make a mock up for that. have never yet made one. in my entire life.#that's bad sewing practice you should make mock ups but i just. don't.#but i likely will for the new years dress!! bc i want to alter some of the pattern and i also don't know which size to pick and #i don't wanna fuck it up.
