Leher Baani Kota Doria Tepchi Saree Yellow

What does the embroidery look like on the yellow?

The marigold yellow body carries white tepchi embroidery in trailing leaves and vines spread across the saree, with a scrolling vine band along the border. The white thread stands out clearly against the bright yellow.

Does it come with a blouse piece?

No. The Leher Baani saree comes without a blouse piece, so you will need a separate blouse. That gives you freedom: a plain cotton blouse in the saree colour, a white chikankari blouse, or a contrast shade picked to suit the occasion.

Can I wear it to a haldi?

Yes. A haldi is where it shines: the bright marigold yellow is right for the ceremony, and the white thread vines show up well in daylight. Light Kota doria keeps you cool through it. It also suits a kitty party or brunch, summer outings and travel, and the office with simple styling.

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

It is shorter than many sarees, so plan a simpler drape: a nivi drape with slightly fewer pleats or a shorter pallu works well for most heights. If you are tall or like deep pleats and a long pallu, try a practice drape before the occasion.

Is kota doria sheer?

Yes. Kota doria has a sheer finish with its fine square-check weave, which is what keeps it so airy. Wear a matching cotton petticoat; a slightly deeper shade than the saree helps the pleats look clean. Pale colours show the sheerness most.

How do I care for it?

We recommend a gentle hand wash with mild detergent, washed separately and dried in the shade. Do not wring; press the water out and dry it flat or on a wide hanger. Iron on low heat with a cloth on top to protect the embroidery.
