Raw silk blouse material is nubby, slubbed texture and a rich, matte-gloss sheen. It is made from raw silk yarn before the natural gum is completely removed, giving the material a slightly stiff structure that helps heavy ethnic garments hold their shape beautifully. Typically sold in 1-meter cuts (with a standard 44-inch width), it provides perfect coverage for standard cap-sleeved or elbow-sleeved blouses.
