History of Chiffon Saree... Indira Devi had first worn chiffon in Paris. It was the material which won her heart. While it came with the width of 34 inches, it was the Maharani who insisted to make it to 46 inches and thus, chiffon saree was introduced. #ChiffonSaree, which is an integral part of saree fabrics, is today worn with distinct style across the globe. The trousseau, which was draped with poise by the royal ladies, was mostly French chiffon. However, it was not the fabric but the signature formula which Indira Devi had introduced was the secret sauce to looking sensual. (Image copyrights belong to their respective owners)
