Jamdani is a vividly patterned, sheer cotton fabric, traditionally
woven on a handloom by craftspeople and apprentices around Dhaka.
Jamdani textiles combine intricacy of design with muted or vibrant
colours, and the finished garments are highly breathable. Jamdani
is a time-consuming and labour-intensive form of weaving because of
the richness of its motifs, which are created directly on the loom
using the discontinuous weft technique. Weaving is thriving today
due to the fabric's popularity for making saris, the principal
dress of Bengali women at home and abroad. The Jamdani sari is a
symbol of identity, dignity and self-recognition and provides
wearers with a sense of cultural identity and social cohesion
