Vibrant Kota Doria Blockprinted Green & Pink Saree

What makes the pallu stand out?

The pallu is a sheer magenta block print with a wide printed band at the edge, set against a lime green body. The two colours are bright and contrasting, so the saree has a lively feel even though the print itself stays light.

What are the motifs on the body?

Small dark flower sprigs are dotted sparsely across the body. Against the bright ground they read crisp and graphic, and the open spacing keeps the saree light-looking while the magenta pallu does the talking.

How sheer is it?

Quite sheer. Kota Doria is an open, translucent weave with fine square checks, so whatever you wear underneath will show. A green or skin-close petticoat keeps the body clean, and a lined blouse gives a neater finish.

Is there a blouse piece?

Yes, a blouse piece is attached to the saree and printed in the same design. It is included in the 6.3 to 6.4 metre length, so cut it away from the end before draping and have it stitched to fit.

How should I wash it?

Dry clean is preferred. If you hand wash, use a gentle wash with a mild detergent, wash it separately from other clothes, and dry it in the shade. This helps keep both the lime green body and the magenta pallu bright.

Which occasions does it suit?

Summer and travel come first, since the light, airy weave suits warm weather. Its bright colours also make it a cheerful pick for a mehndi, while the sparse print keeps it smart enough for the office and simple enough for everyday wear.
