Handloom Kota Silk Dreamy Beige & Yellow Saree

What does the yellow pallu look like?

The plain cream body has a narrow gold zari border, and the pallu turns a bold yellow carrying wide gold zari stripes across it. The bright yellow against the cream gives a fresh, cheerful contrast, while the plain body keeps the overall look light.

Is it suitable for a puja?

Yes. Cream and yellow is a traditional combination for pujas and festive mornings, and the narrow gold border keeps it graceful without being heavy. It also works well for the office, summer travel, dinners and kitty lunches.

Will the yellow bleed?

To keep the yellow bright, dry cleaning is preferred. If you hand wash, wash the saree separately with a mild detergent in cool water, avoid long soaking, and dry it in the shade, away from direct sun.

How sheer is it?

Kota is a sheer, airy weave, so the petticoat shows through. Choose off-white or a skin tone for the body; a yellow petticoat would show through the cream pleats as a block of colour and spoil the clean contrast with the pallu.

What blouse goes with cream and yellow?

A yellow blouse matching the pallu keeps the look fresh. A red or green blouse gives a traditional, festive touch, and a gold blouse picks up the border and stripes for an evening. Gold jhumkas suit the sunny pallu.

Is a blouse piece included?

Yes. The blouse piece comes attached within the total length of 6.3 to 6.4 metres. Cut it off along the end before stitching, and ask your tailor to finish the seams carefully, as the open weave can fray at raw edges.
