Popular Sarees of Bangladesh • Muslin • Jamdani • Tangail • Rajshahi Silk • Mirpur Bridal Sarees There are at least six varieties of Bengal handlooms, each deriving its name from the village in which it originated, and each with its own distinctive style.
MUSLIN During the Mughal period a fine fabric called Muslinproduced in our country was well known all over the world specially in Europe for its unique features. This Muslin was worn by the queens and rich women of that time. This fabric was so fine that 6 yards of a Muslin saree could pass through a ring. Unfortunately this art was destroyed by the British during the British rule. The British rulers killed the weavers so that the secret would be gone forever. KUMKUM HABIBA
