Striped Kota Slub Sequence Pallu Saree Hand Dyed Black

How do the sequins look on the black?

Small gold sequins are scattered across the black, catching the light against the dark ground, and fine stripes in the weave give it texture up close. The pallu ends in a wide bronze-brown panel, so the saree looks rich in the evening.

What blouse suits this saree?

A bronze or gold blouse picks up the pallu panel and sequins and turns it into a cocktail look, while black keeps it sleek. A deep red or emerald blouse adds colour. Gold jewellery suits the sequins best.

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 sits with the fine stripes of the weave, and it is part of the look rather than a flaw.

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 black and bronze stay deep.

Where would I wear it?

It leads as a sangeet or cocktail saree, with its gold sequins and bronze pallu at their best under evening lights. It also suits festive gatherings, dinners, kitty lunches and brunches, and summer travel.
