Playful Kota Doria Cotton Bel Embroidery Pink Saree Handdyed

What is the scalloped edge on the pallu?

The pallu end is finished with a scalloped white embroidered edge, which gives it a soft, wavy outline when it falls over the shoulder. The rest of the selvedge is a plain pale edge, so the scallop becomes the one decorative accent that frames the drape.

How does the embroidery show on the coral ground?

White leafy sprigs with small buds, the Bel motif, are placed across the whole saree. On coral pink the white stands out clearly but stays gentle, giving a cheerful, summery look. The pallu carries the same sprigs, so the pattern is even end to end.

What kind of occasions does it suit?

Above all it is a summer and travel saree, cool and light to wear. It works for office wear, kitty parties and brunches, and with the right blouse and jewellery it also fits festive gatherings with family and friends.

Is the length enough for a regular drape?

Yes. The saree measures 5.4 to 5.5 metres, which is enough for a standard Nivi drape with pleats and a comfortable pallu. A blouse piece of 80 to 85 cm comes along with it.

Will the colour look exactly like the pictures?

The saree is hand-dyed, so the coral can vary a little from piece to piece, and screens also show colour differently. Small variations are part of hand dyeing. Wash it separately in cold water with a mild detergent, and dry it in the shade.
