Handloom Kota Silk Poetic Beige & Blue Saree

What shade of blue is on this one?

It is a bright sky blue. The colour rises from the ivory body with a soft dip-dyed fade into a pallu banded with zari stripes, and a narrow gold zari edge runs along the body. The look is fresh and summery.

How does it look when draped?

The pleats and upper drape stay off-white with a gold border, and the sky blue appears at the lower pallu. The soft fade between the two colours makes the transition gentle rather than abrupt.

Is it light enough for hot weather?

Yes. Kota is light and airy, and the ivory and sky blue look cool in summer. It is comfortable for long days in the heat, which makes it an easy pick for summer travel, office days or a temple visit.

What petticoat should I wear?

Kota is sheer, so choose an off-white or skin-tone petticoat for the body. A blue petticoat would show through the white pleats, and a bright white one can look stark against the soft off-white.

What blouse goes with sky blue?

A sky blue blouse matches the pallu. White or silver keeps it light, and a coral or peach blouse makes a warm contrast. Pearl or silver jewellery suits the cool shade.

How should I care for it?

Dry cleaning is preferred, or a gentle hand wash with a mild detergent. Wash it separately, avoid long soaking so the sky blue does not run into the off-white, and dry it in the shade.
