It was invented by indigenous civilization. Dhaka muslin is ultra-lightweight, super breathable, and comfortable. It is so thin that it can pass through an engagement ring!
Only the emperor or aristocrats can afford Muslin. It was a symbol of status and beauty. One Dhaka Muslin dress takes six months to 2 years for the weavers. It is entirely handmade.
