[7] The tissue figured cloths belong to the class of intricately patterned muslins that are produced using the jacquard weaving technique.
Here are a few examples: A tissue saree (or tar-bana[16]) is typically composed of a pure silk body on the warp, while the weft and borders are made of gold thread.
Additionally, the weft is made of gold lace and the silk warp is doubled in both the heddles and reed, resulting in a heavier fabric than usual.
[17][18] Brocades on Tissue sarees are woven using silk yarn for the body and feature exquisite zari patterns on the pallu, which is the border of the sari.
Among these, several exclusive varieties hold a special place, including jangla, tanchoi, vaskat, cutwork, tissue, and butidar.
