Batik Breeze Lavendar Pure Cotton Kota Doria Saree

What does the print look like?

White star flowers sit in a tight geometric grid across the body, with dotted white bands near the border and a thin copper-toned edge. On this vivid purple ground the print looks bright and lively, and the plain pallu end gives it a clean finish.

Is the pallu printed too?

No, the pallu end leaves out the print and stays plain, so a solid sweep of colour falls over the shoulder. Against the busy pleats it looks clean and deliberate, and it is a good place to let a statement blouse or a long necklace show.

Is it dressy enough for festive events?

Yes. The saturated colour and crisp white print give it a festive feel, and it works well for pujas and family celebrations when you want cotton rather than silk. It also suits kitty parties and brunches, the office, and summer outings where a breathable saree helps.

Will it stay comfortable through a long function?

Kota Doria is pure cotton, lightweight and breathable, with a sheer, airy check weave, so it stays comfortable through a long function. Pin the pleats at the waist and the pallu at the shoulder to keep the drape neat through the day.

How do I care for the strong colour?

Always wash it on its own, gently by hand in cold water with a mild detergent, and rinse well. Dry it in the shade so the violet stays bright, and don't let it sit wet against white fabrics.

Does it have a blouse piece, and how should I style it?

A blouse piece comes attached, and the 6.3 to 6.4 metre length includes it. For a contrast look, try silver, copper or soft pink; copper picks up the edge, while silver keeps the look cool and dressy.
