Handcrafted Kota Silk Yellow & Blue Saree

What does the yellow and blue look like?

The body is a bright, sunny yellow with a narrow gold edge at the hem, and the pallu turns a deep navy blue banded with broad gold zari stripes. It is a clean colour-block contrast, with the warm yellow carrying the drape and the navy grounding the end.

How is the pallu finished?

Broad navy bands alternate with gold zari stripes across the whole pallu, giving it a striped, shimmering look when it falls from the shoulder. Tassels finish the end, and the plain yellow body lets the pallu carry all the detail.

Which blouse goes with marigold and navy?

A navy blouse matching the pallu looks smart and slightly formal. Gold tissue is the festive choice, and a white or cream blouse keeps it fresh for a daytime event. Gold jhumkas suit the warm yellow body.

Do I need a full petticoat?

Yes. Kota is sheer, so a full-length petticoat is needed. Choose yellow or a skin tone for the body; a navy or white petticoat would show through the bright pleats and spoil the colour.

Is the yellow very strong in person?

It is a rich, sunny yellow, bright without being neon. It looks cheerful in daylight and stands out at festive mornings and brunches, while the navy pallu keeps it grounded enough for a working day.

How should I wash it?

Dry cleaning is preferred. For a home wash, use a mild detergent in cool water and wash it separately, then dry it in the shade, away from strong sun, to help keep both the yellow and the navy bright. Avoid wringing; press the water out gently.
