To his astonishment, she told him that she was wearing seven layers of Bengal Muslin. Bengal is that land where seeds of modern fashion germinated in form of rich textiles and weaves. The by lanes being one of the most exorbitant mines of fashion. The amazingly talented designers shoulder this responsibility to spread the shine of these exquisite crafts to the world.
