DyeLoom Kota Silk Jacquard Saree Brown

What stands out in this DyeLoom design?

The pallu has rows of white dashed lines, like running stitches, which give it a folk feel. The rest of the saree carries small round gold buti and a narrow gold check border, so the look is festive without being heavy.

Is the pattern woven or printed?

It is woven. This is a jacquard Kota silk, so the patterns are created on the loom, and the saree is hand dyed afterwards. That is why the colour can vary slightly across the fabric and from one piece to another.

Is there a blouse piece?

Yes, a blouse piece comes attached to the saree, and the total length is 6.3 to 6.4 metres. Have your tailor cut it off and stitch it to your fit before you drape the saree for the first time.

How does it drape?

Kota silk is lightweight and breathable, with a delicate drape, so the pallu sits light on the shoulder. Pin the pallu at the shoulder for a neat look. It does not feel heavy, which keeps it easy through a long festive day or an evening dinner.

What jewellery suits it?

The gold buti and check border pair well with gold jhumkas, a slim choker or a layered chain. Since the pallu already has the white dashed lines, keep the jewellery in gold rather than silver so the look stays together.

Will the dye run?

Being hand dyed, the saree is best dry cleaned. If you wash it at home, keep it to a gentle hand wash with mild detergent, wash it separately from other clothes, and dry it in the shade.
