Striped Kota Slub Sequence Pallu Saree Hand Dyed Violet

What shade is the saree?

A deep plum-violet with fine stripes and small sequins scattered across the body, ending in a wide golden-bronze pallu panel. Purple and gold give it a rich, regal look under evening light.

Which blouse suits violet?

Gold picks up the band and suits a sangeet; mustard gives a warm contrast, and a pink or magenta blouse is bold and festive. Gold or kundan jewellery suits the deep violet.

What does 'slub' mean?

Slub yarns are spun with deliberate thick and thin areas, which gives the fabric a textured, slightly uneven surface. On this saree that texture shows as small natural ridges across the striped weave, and it's part of the look rather than a flaw.

What should I wear underneath?

A cotton petticoat in a shade close to the saree. Kota is airy and sheer, so a white or very dark petticoat will show through. A fitted petticoat also helps the light fabric fall neatly at the pleats.

Will the colour run?

It may release a little colour, so wash it separately. The saree is hand dyed, and dry cleaning is preferred; if you hand wash, use a mild detergent, keep it away from other clothes, and dry it in the shade, out of direct sun.
