Half Dye Half Print Kota Silk Pink Saree Sequence Pallu

What does this saree look like?

The body is a soft pink-and-white tie-dye with large cloud-like blotches, deepening to a rich red towards the hem. The pallu is plain red, and a wide gold-orange border runs along the edge, so the saree reads as a two-tone pink and red.

What jewellery suits it?

The gold border makes gold jewellery the natural choice: jhumkas, a choker or a layered necklace for a sangeet. A pink blouse matching the lighter body keeps the look soft, while a red or gold blouse makes it dressier.

Is a blouse piece included?

Yes, a blouse piece comes attached to the saree, and the 6.3 to 6.4 metre length includes it. Your tailor will separate it from the end before stitching, which leaves a comfortable length for the drape itself.

Will the colour run?

It is hand dyed, so treat it with care. Dry cleaning is preferred; if you hand wash, use a mild detergent, wash it separately from other clothes, avoid soaking, and dry it in the shade so the pink and red stay clear.

What is Kota silk?

Kota silk, also called Kota Doria, is a lightweight, sheer fabric from Kota in Rajasthan, woven from a blend of cotton and silk yarns on traditional pit looms. Its fine square checks, called khats, give it an airy texture and a delicate drape.

Where would I wear it?

It leads as a sangeet or cocktail saree, with its gold border and red pallu giving it a party feel. It also suits festive gatherings, evening dinners, kitty lunches and brunches, and its light Kota weave makes it easy for summer travel.
