Jacquard

Jacquard is a fabric in which the pattern is woven into the cloth rather than printed, so the design has texture and body. Motifs range from small geometrics to large florals.

Common uses include jacquard for lehengas, blouses, jackets, gowns, waistcoats, sherwanis and upholstery.

Check the weight and the finish. Heavier jacquards suit jackets, sherwanis and upholstery, while lighter ones suit blouses, dresses and linings.

Heavier fabrics are usually best dry-cleaned or spot-cleaned. Steam instead of pressing hard, use a sturdy needle, and allow extra seam allowance for bulk.

Brocade is a type of jacquard with raised, often metallic, patterns that look embroidered. Jacquard is the broader term and includes flatter, finer designs. See our brocade collection.
