Ornamental Banarasi Silk Linen Violet Handloom Saree

What does this saree look like?

The body is a soft lilac violet, and a wide silver-gold floral border runs along the edge. The pale violet with brocade is gentle and pretty, and the floral scrolls on the border stand out clearly.

What jewellery suits lilac violet?

Silver and pearls suit the soft shade and keep it delicate. For a festive evening, rose gold or antique gold adds warmth. Amethyst-toned or white stone earrings tie in nicely with the lilac.

What events would it suit?

It is first an office saree: soft lilac with brocade is graceful at work. It also suits brunches and kitty gatherings, evening dinners, temple visits and festive events, where the wide silver-gold border gives it enough polish.

Does it come with a blouse piece?

Yes. A matching blouse piece comes attached to the saree, and the 6.3 to 6.4 metre length includes it. Have your tailor cut it off before the first drape and stitch it to your measurements and preferred neckline.

Why might the shade differ slightly between sarees?

Because the colour is hand dyed. Small changes in dye batch and timing give each piece a slightly different depth of shade, and screens show colours differently too. The variation is small, and it is part of what makes a hand-dyed saree its own.
