    Description

    A refined, ultra-soft Bengal muslin distinguished by its signature red selvedge, this lightweight cotton is the epitome of elevated simplicity. Woven to a fine 75 GSM, the fabric balances breathability with subtle structure, making it ideal for warm climates, heirloom sewing, and thoughtfully crafted garments. The clean, crisp selvedge adds a touch of artisanal character that couture makers and slow-fashion designers will appreciate.

    This is not a basic voile or utility muslin — it is a carefully finished, high-grade Bengal muslin with a polished handfeel that drapes beautifully while retaining enough integrity for tailored silhouettes.

    HOW THE FABRIC IS MADE
    Crafted from long-staple cotton fibers, spun into fine yarns for smoothness and durability
    Woven in a plain muslin weave, ensuring even airflow, softness, and versatility
    Finished with a distinct red selvedge, a traditional mill hallmark that enhances aesthetic value and prevents fraying at the edges
    Lightly refined, preserving a natural, breathable feel rather than a stiff, coated finish

    TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

    Fiber: 100% cotton
    Weave: Plain muslin
    Weight: 75 GSM (≈ 4.4 oz/yd²)

    HANDFEEL & DRAPE

    Handfeel: Feather-soft, cool to the touch, and gently brushed smooth

    IDEAL USES

    Summer dresses, blouses, tunics, and kurtas
    Lightweight scarves and dupattas
    Lining for sheer fabrics (chiffon, organza, lace)
    Quilt backing, craft projects, and heirloom sewing

    WASH & CARE 

    Pre-wash recommended — cotton may shrink 3–5% on first wash
    Machine wash cold on gentle cycle or hand wash
    Use mild, pH-neutral detergent
    Air dry or tumble dry low
    Light steam press on cotton setting
    Avoid bleach to preserve fiber integrity and selvedge color
