It was made from a costly, delicate Dhaka muslin; a textile made from a rare cotton grown only on the banks of the Meghna River in India. The muslin industry was thousands of years old and involved an extremely skilled sixteen step process with specialisations being passed down through families, and entire villages involved in its production. The thread count was up to an extraordinary 1,200, but it was as light as air and as soft as the wind. The fabulously gauzy fabric was substantially more valuable than silk.

… Dhaka muslin was considered one of the treasures of the age, but it cannot be found today except in museums. Exploitation by the British East India Company meant that, by the early 20th century, the techniques for making Dhaka muslin had been forgotten, and the plant, Phuti karpas, was extinct.
