Bayadere (fabric)
Bayadere was an Indian silk fabric with a horizontal stripe pattern.[1][2]
Etymology[edit]
In Europe the term bayadere (from French: bayadère, from Portuguese: balhadeira, literally dancer) was occasionally used. [3]
Structure and pattern[edit]
Bayadere was made using both plain and twill weaves. The fabric was either woven with weft stripes or printed. The stripes were made with bright and strongly contrasting colors.[1][4][5] Moire bayadere is a bayadere with a wavy pattern.[1][4]
