Leher Baani Kota Doria Tepchi Saree Purple

What shade of purple is it?

A soft lilac, gentle and pastel rather than a deep purple, with cream tepchi leaf vines curling across the body and pallu and an embroidered leaf row along the border. It is an easy shade for daytime: office days, brunches and summer outings.

Which blouse colour suits it?

White or silver-grey keeps it soft; deep purple or magenta makes it bolder. Silver jewellery suits lavender. Since no blouse piece is included, a breathable cotton blouse is the most comfortable choice with kota. Pearls also look lovely, and a simple cut keeps the vines in view.

The saree is 5.3 to 5.4 metres. Is that enough?

Yes, with a simpler drape. A nivi drape with slightly fewer pleats or a shorter pallu works well at 5.3 to 5.4 metres. If you are tall or like deep pleats and a long pallu, try a practice drape before the occasion.

What is kota doria fabric?

Kota doria is a lightweight, airy fabric woven with fine cotton or silk yarns in a distinctive square-check pattern. It has a crisp texture and a sheer finish, and it breathes beautifully, which is why it is loved for hot days and long functions.

Is the embroidery done by hand?

Yes. It is tepchi handwork, a chikankari stitch from the Lucknow tradition. Because each running stitch is placed by hand, slight variations in line and spacing are natural and show the work behind each saree.

Will it stay comfortable through a long day?

Yes. Kota Doria is a lightweight, airy weave with a crisp texture and breathable comfort, and tepchi is a fine running stitch that keeps the fabric light. That makes it an easy choice for long office days, summer outings and daytime functions.
