Fabric TypeThe fabric appears to be a traditional textile, possibly a silk blend or georgette/crepe with a rich texture, likely used for Indian ethnic wear.The fabric is heavily embellished, which makes it harder to identify the base material precisely. However, the rich look and the way the embroidery sits suggest it could be:Art Silk/Blended Silk: Often used for garments with heavy work due to its sheen and ability to hold embroidery well.Net/Georgette: The base fabric could be one of these, with a lining underneath, given the drape and style of the embroidery.Type of Garment and EmbellishmentThis garment is likely an Indian ethnic wear item such as a Saree (specifically the pallu or main body section).The Work (What the embellishment is called)The intricate decoration and embroidery seen on the fabric are generally called "work" or "karigari" in Hindi. The specific type of work appears to be a combination of:Zari/Zardozi Work: This involves the use of gold or silver-colored metallic thread (and sometimes colored metallic threads) for embroidery.Thread Embroidery: The use of colored silk or cotton threads to create patterns.Sequins/Beads/Mirror Work: There might be small mirrors (aari or shisha work) or small metal/plastic pieces (sequins or sitara) and beads (moti) incorporated for added sparkle.The Dangling OrnamentThe small, hanging ornament attached to the corner of the fabric (which is also visible on the tag) is called a tassel or, more commonly in the context of Indian wear, a Latkan (plural: Latkans).Latkans are decorative hangings, often made of fabric, beads, or threads, attached to the corners of dupattas, the ends of a saree pallu, or the waist tie (dori) of a lehenga skirt.
