Coral Chikankari Kota Doria Saree Pink Handcrafted

What shade is the saree?

A soft, light baby pink, delicate rather than bright. Screens can shift how a shade appears, so treat the photo as a close guide. White chikankari is worked over the pink, so the embroidery shows as a gentle, fresh contrast that keeps the whole drape soft and pretty.

Where is the embroidery concentrated?

The body is lightly worked with small motifs, and the work deepens towards the pallu into paisley-like butas, scalloped jaali and floral panels. Because the ground is so pale, the embroidery reads as texture more than contrast, which keeps the whole drape soft.

Is it see-through?

Yes, somewhat. Kota Doria is a light, sheer weave by nature, so wear it over a well-fitted petticoat in a matching or slightly lighter shade. Its fine checks and airy texture are what make it right for warm weather, and a good petticoat is all you need to wear it confidently.

Is a blouse piece included?

No, the saree comes on its own. That gives you room to choose: a white cotton blouse that matches the chikankari thread, a contrast colour, or a ready blouse from your wardrobe. The saree itself is about 5.4 to 5.5 metres long.

Can I machine wash a chikankari Kota saree?

Please don't. The care instruction is dry clean only, because a machine or a harsh detergent can snag the open Kota weave and distort the embroidery. Between wears, keep it in a separate bag in a dry cupboard, change the folds regularly and air it out in dry weather.
