DyeLoom Kota Silk Jacquard Saree Green

What is the border on the DyeLoom saree like?

A narrow brick-red zigzag border in the temple style runs along the edges and stands out sharply against the soft sage body. It is a thin line rather than a heavy band, so it frames the saree without making it look overdressed.

How is the pallu different from the body?

The pallu has a wide band of grey-brown stripes, which gives the saree its emphasis at the shoulder while the body stays almost plain. The body has a mottled look from the hand dyeing, so the colour shifts gently across the fabric instead of sitting flat.

Is Kota silk see-through?

Kota is a light, airy weave and can be slightly sheer in places. A petticoat in a matching or skin-toned shade gives a clean finish, especially when you are out in bright daylight or being photographed.

Does it come with a blouse?

Yes. The blouse piece comes attached to the saree, and the full length measures 6.3 to 6.4 metres. Your tailor can separate the blouse fabric and stitch it to your fit and preferred style.

Will the colour bleed in the wash?

As this saree is hand dyed, dry cleaning is preferred. If you do wash it at home, use a gentle hand wash with a mild detergent, wash it on its own, and dry it in the shade so the colour holds well.

Will my saree look exactly like the photos?

Very close, but not identical. Hand dyeing creates small variations in shade and in the mottled effect from piece to piece, and screens show colour slightly differently. These small irregularities are part of how the saree is made.
