Kantha Bloom Kota Silk Dyed Saree Green

What is the pattern on the Kantha Bloom saree?

Wide stripes of fresh green and mint run down the body, separated by thin brown lines. It is a bold but cheerful pattern that looks crisp and modern, especially when the pleats line the stripes up neatly.

How does the cream pallu change the look?

The pallu is a plain cream panel, a calm break after the striped body. Draped over the shoulder, it softens the green and gives the saree a clean, summery balance that is easy to style.

Is this a good saree for hot weather?

Yes. Kota silk is lightweight and breathable, and the light colours keep it looking cool. It is easy to wear for long hours in the heat, and the pleats fall softly without feeling heavy.

What should I wear under it?

Kota is an airy weave and light shades can be slightly sheer, so a petticoat in cream, mint or your skin tone is best. Avoid a dark petticoat, which may show through the lighter stripes.

How should I style it for work?

Pair it with a fitted cream or white blouse, simple studs and a watch, and keep the pleats neat so the stripes fall straight. For a more dressed look, a brown or rust blouse picks up the thin lines between the stripes.

How do I care for it?

Dry cleaning is preferred. A gentle hand wash with mild detergent is fine too; wash it separately since it is hand dyed, and dry it in the shade. Store it folded in a cotton cloth, away from damp.
