Elegant Kota Doria Cotton Bel Embroidery Blue Saree Handdyed

What jewellery suits this saree?

The yellow sprigs and gold lattice band give you an easy cue: gold-toned jhumkas, a fine gold chain or kundan studs pick up the accents nicely. For office days, keep it to small studs and a watch. For festive occasions, add bangles and a statement pair of earrings.

How do the yellow sprigs and gold band work together?

Yellow Bel sprigs with diamond buds are scattered across the dark body, and a gold diamond lattice band is stitched near the hem and pallu. The yellow lights up the navy, and the gold band frames the edges, so the saree has clear contrast from a distance.

What comes in the package?

You get one saree of 5.4 to 5.5 metres and a blouse piece of 80 to 85 cm, which you can get tailored to your size. The blouse piece is a pale yellow that picks up the colour of the sprigs.

Is it comfortable in hot weather?

It is. Kota Doria is woven from a cotton and silk blend with an airy texture, which makes it ideal for warm weather. The embroidery is fine thread work rather than heavy surface work, so the saree stays light through a full working day.

Will the dark dye bleed?

Deep shades like this are hand-dyed, so wash the saree separately in cold water with a mild detergent, and do not soak it for long. Keep it away from light garments in the wash. Dry it in the shade to protect the colour and the yellow thread.
