Kota Doria Paithani Embroidery Designer Saree Yellow

What motif runs across the body?

Green leaf buti are hand block printed in neat rows across the body. The leaves are medium-sized and evenly spaced, giving a fresh, orderly look, and a printed floral band runs along the side next to a pink, silver-look edge.

What does the pallu look like?

The pallu shows green parrots perched on black branches, with pink, blue and red flowers. The black branches give a sharp outline that makes the birds stand out clearly, and the green ties neatly back to the leaf buti on the body.

What kind of events is it suited to?

Weddings and receptions top the list, especially as a light, cheerful guest saree. It also suits evening dinners and festive occasions with family. Choose gold-toned or kundan jewellery for a wedding, and something smaller and simpler for a dinner.

Is it sheer?

Yes, Kota Doria is light and sheer by nature. Wear it with a petticoat closely matched to the base shade, and line your blouse. A petticoat in a contrasting colour would show through the weave, so match it carefully before the day.

Does the saree include a blouse piece?

Yes, a blouse piece in the pallu colour is attached at the end. The full length is 6.3 to 6.4 metres including the blouse piece. A green blouse is a good alternative if you want to pick up the parrots and leaves.

Will every piece look exactly the same?

The design is consistent, but hand block printing and handcraft mean small differences in print alignment and motif placement between pieces. Colours can also appear slightly different on different screens. These variations are part of what makes a handcrafted saree individual.
