Border prints place the main design along the edge of the fabric so it falls at the hem of the garment. They are popular for ethnic wear.
What is border print fabric used for?
Common uses include sarees, dupattas, lehengas and kurtis.
How do I choose the right border print fabric?
Plan how the border falls on the garment and buy enough width for it.
How should I care for and sew border print fabric?
Printed fabrics should be washed separately in cool water for the first few washes, and ironed on the reverse. Test colour fastness on a small piece before a large production run.
How do border prints work for kurtis?
The border runs along the selvedge and is positioned at the hem or sleeve edge, so layout matters. See our panel print collection.
