Banaras Bloom Kota Silk Banarasi Border Saree Light Green

What sets this Banaras Bloom apart?

The pallu carries wide bands of soft-gold zari across a very pale pistachio body, so the shimmer gathers at the shoulder. A narrow border with a diamond pattern frames the edges in the Banarasi style.

Is the zari bright or muted?

It is a soft gold rather than a bright yellow-gold, which suits the pale pistachio base. The overall effect is gentle and tonal, a good choice if you prefer a quiet shine to a bold one.

How should I drape it?

Kota silk is light, so pin the pleats and pallu securely. An open pallu shows off the wide soft-gold zari bands best, while a pleated pallu gives a neater look and lets the narrow diamond-pattern border show along the edge.

What should I wear underneath?

This is a very pale shade on an airy weave, so it can look slightly sheer. A pale green or nude petticoat works best; a bright white one can look stark under a pastel.

Is there a blouse piece included?

Yes, the blouse piece is attached to the saree, and the total length is 6.3 to 6.4 metres. A soft gold, ivory or deep green blouse all work well with the pistachio body.

Will the colour match the photo exactly?

Very close. As each saree is hand dyed, slight differences in shade are natural, and pale colours can look different across screens. These small variations come from the handmade process.
