Tussar Sarees
At one time, tussar silk was popular mainly among middle-aged women. But now, with vibrant colors and a variety of designs and motifs, tussar has gained popularity across all age groups.

How to Identify Genuine Tussar?
When buying tussar, garad, or silk, pull out a small thread from the fabric and burn it. If it releases a burnt smell like that of a scorched silkworm and turns to ash, then it is indeed made from real silk threads—be it garad, tussar, or katan. On the other hand, burning polyester thread will produce no smell and will melt like chewing gum, sticking to your fingers.

How to Know if the Fabric Color is Fast?
You can tell by just looking whether the color of the fabric is fast (permanent) or not. If the color looks unusually bright compared to natural tones, it is likely not colorfast. You can compare two fabrics of the same color side by side—if one looks artificially vibrant, its color is likely not durable.

Wet a small portion of the fabric and place a white cotton cloth over it. Then iron on top. If the white cloth remains clean, the dye is permanent. If not, you’ve been deceived.

What to Do if the Color Isn’t Fast?
If the fabric color isn’t fast, it means the fabric isn’t durable—it will fade in a short time. In that case, it’s best to return it to the store. Since the whole fabric hasn’t been washed, returning it shouldn’t be a problem.

Poor-quality fabrics don’t absorb dyes well, and low-quality dyes are also to blame. Whatever the reason, you should avoid wearing such clothing.

Color that keeps coming off from the fabric can even cause skin cancer! So be cautious.
