Chic Kota Doria Cotton Bel Embroidery White Saree Handdyed

How bright is the pink embroidery?

The magenta-pink Bel sprigs stand out clearly on the white sheer ground. The colour is vivid but the sprigs are fine, so the overall look is fresh and pretty rather than loud.

What details are at the edges?

A small dotted gold band runs along the hem, and the pallu ends in a pink scalloped edge. Together they frame the saree lightly, with the scallop giving the pallu a soft, wavy finish.

How do I wash a white saree with coloured embroidery?

Hand wash it gently in cold water with a mild detergent, and always wash it separately. Do not soak it for long or wring it. Dry it in the shade rather than in strong sun, and iron it on a low setting from the reverse.

Can I get the blouse made to my size?

Yes, the saree comes with a blouse piece of 80 to 85 cm that you can have tailored. The blouse piece is pink, matching the sprigs, and the saree itself is 5.4 to 5.5 metres long.

Is it comfortable for long hours?

Yes. Kota Doria is lightweight with an airy texture, and the fine thread embroidery adds no real weight. It stays easy to wear from morning to evening, and the fabric is well suited to warm weather.

Will my piece match the photos exactly?

It will be very close. As it is handcrafted and hand-dyed, small differences in sprig placement and shade are natural, and screens show colour slightly differently. These variations are part of handmade work.
