Kota Silk Saree Sequence Pallu & Zig-Zag Design

Can you see the zig-zag pattern on the blue?

It's subtle. The light sky blue looks almost plain from a distance, and the zig-zag shows as a faint texture up close. The pallu adds interest with fine dark lines and sequin work, which catches the light at a brunch or an evening sangeet.

What blouse goes with sky blue?

An ivory or champagne blouse keeps it soft and elegant. Silver suits a cocktail evening, and a pink or coral blouse adds warmth. Pearls or silver jewellery work well with it.

Is Kota silk see-through?

Kota is a light, sheer weave, so a petticoat in a matching shade is a must. The fine checks of the weave let air through, which is what makes it comfortable in warm weather, and a well-fitted petticoat keeps the drape looking clean.

How do I care for it?

Dry clean if you can; otherwise hand wash gently with a mild detergent. Always wash it separately, because the colour is hand dyed, and dry it in the shade. Store it folded in a cotton bag so the light Kota weave doesn't get crushed.

How long is the saree?

About 6.3 to 6.4 metres including the attached blouse piece. Once the blouse fabric is separated, there's enough length for a standard drape with neat pleats and a comfortable pallu.
