Pankhudi Gota Patti Kota Cotton Beige Saree

How is this saree bordered?

A wide band of silver gota flowers runs along the border, finished with a red dotted wave-print edge and small touches of mirror and thread work. The tan beige body stays plain apart from a few scattered flowers, so the border carries the design.

How do I style this saree?

A red blouse warms up the neutral body for festive wear and ties in with the dotted edge. A gold or rust blouse keeps it understated for a daytime lunch or kitty party. Antique gold or silver jewellery both suit the beige, and silver picks up the gota flowers.

What is Kota cotton?

Kota cotton is a lightweight, breathable pure cotton fabric from Kota, Rajasthan, known for its signature checkered weave called khats. It is soft and durable, ideal for hot climates, and it takes a gentle hand wash with mild detergent, washed separately and dried in the shade.

Does it come with a blouse piece?

Yes. The saree measures 5.4 to 5.5 metres and comes with an 80 cm blouse piece in the package, so your tailor can make the blouse to your own measurements, sleeve length and neckline.

Is Kota cotton too stiff or too heavy to drape?

Neither. Kota cotton is lightweight, soft and breathable, made from pure cotton in the airy khat weave, so it is comfortable in hot weather. The gota patti sits along the border, leaving the body plain and simple to drape for summer festivities or a sangeet.
