Craft Couture Blockprinted Kota Doria Mustard Yellow & Red Saree

What is the pallu design?

The pallu is a bold red worked in diagonal dotted bands with leaf motifs, finished with a gold-tone edge along the border. The diagonals give it movement, which shows well when the pallu falls loose over the shoulder.

What is printed on the body?

Leaf sprigs are spaced across a sheer mustard body. They are medium in scale and kept open, so the body reads light and warm while the red pallu carries the weight of the design.

What should I wear under such a sheer saree?

Kota Doria is translucent, so the petticoat will show through. A mustard or skin-close petticoat keeps the colour even and the drape clean. Pair it with a lined blouse for a neat finish.

Is a blouse included?

Yes. The saree comes with a blouse, included within the 6.3 to 6.4 metre length and printed to match. Separate it from the saree end and have it tailored to your measurements and style.

How does it drape?

Pure cotton Kota Doria is lightweight with a fine texture and an airy feel, so the drape sits lightly on the body. A couple of pins at the waist and shoulder keep the pleats and pallu tidy through the day, and let the red pallu fall cleanly.

What are the small squares in the fabric?

Those are the fine square checks Kota Doria is known for. They are woven into the pure cotton fabric and give it its signature translucent, airy feel, with the mustard body and red pallu block printed by hand over that weave.
