A tissue saree is a type of saree woven with very fine threads, often in silk or a silk blend, that give it a shimmery, translucent, and lightweight appearance — much like tissue paper, hence the name. These sarees are known for their elegant sheen and rich texture, making them popular choices for festive occasions, weddings, and formal events.
