That’s a lovely outfit! The fabric is described as Vatican cloth.
Based on the floral print and the gathered, pleated structure of the Kurti, here is some information about what “Vatican fabric” often refers to in the context of apparel in India:
* Composition: “Vatican fabric” is often a name given to a type of fabric blend, frequently a viscose, silk, or poly-viscose blend. Some listings also mention it as a type of “Vatican Silk” or even a printed cotton or rayon fabric with a specific finish.
* Characteristics (for apparel):
* Texture: It typically has a rich, soft, and smooth texture.
* Drape: It is known for its luxurious drape and flow, which is evident in the pleats of the Kurti in the photo.
* Use: It is widely used for making ladies’ suits, kurtis, dresses, and other garments.
* The Kurti in the image: The fabric has a nice fall, which suits the style of the pleated long Kurti. The print is a classic, large-scale floral/botanical design in an earthy brown/mustard color with a lighter contrast pattern.
It is a popular choice for printed and ready-to-wear ethnic garments.
