Fabrics
Traditionally, the choli has been made from the same fabric as the sari, with many sari producers adding extra length to their products so that women can cut the end of the sari off and sew it into a matching choli.Cholis are made out of many fabrics. For everyday wear, cotton-based materials such as terry-cot and silk cotton are comfortable. Chiffon, silk, crepe and satin fabrics are best suited for occasions. The ideal fabric for cholis in summer is chiffon and georgette. Sheer and other transparent fabrics are considered to add glamour provided they come with a lining in the right places.But cholis made out of velvet and suede are considered the deadliest faux pas for the Indian culture.
