Wax Batik Hand Dyed Kota Silk Saree Midnight Blue

What is the difference between the body and the pallu?

The body is a deep, dark blue with small white leaf and ring shapes scattered across it. The pallu changes the rhythm: it is banded with white stripes, and a white banded edge runs along the border. So the saree reads quiet over the pleats and more graphic over the shoulder.

Why might the motifs look slightly uneven?

Each motif is drawn in wax by hand before the silk goes into the dye. Small differences in how the wax was laid make some shapes a little sharper or softer than others. That unevenness is a sign of real batik, and it means no two sarees are identical.

Where can I wear it?

Office days come first: the dark base and small white motifs look neat and polished. It also suits summer and travel since Kota silk is light, carries well into a festive gathering with the right jewellery, and is relaxed enough for a kitty party.

Is the blouse piece included?

Yes, it is attached to the saree. The full length is about 6.3 to 6.4 metres including the blouse, so you separate the blouse portion and get it tailored. A white blouse echoes the motifs; a red or rust one gives warm contrast.

How should I care for it?

Dry clean is preferred. For a home wash, use a gentle hand wash with mild detergent and keep it apart from other clothes, since deep hand-dyed colours can run. Dry it in the shade.
