Silken Stitches Kota Silk Embroidered Saree Red

What embroidery is on the Silken Stitches saree?

Pink rose clusters with tiny buds and green leaves are embroidered across the body and the pallu, spaced out so the vivid red-orange ground shows between them. A thin gold edge runs along the border, and the pallu ends in tassels.

How do the hand dyeing and embroidery work together?

Both are done by hand. The hand dyeing gives the red-orange its warmth and slight natural variation, and the pink roses and buds are embroidered in thread across the body and pallu. Together they give each saree small differences in shade and stitch, so no two pieces are exactly alike.

Does it come with a blouse?

Yes, the blouse is attached to the saree. The full length is about 6.3 to 6.4 metres including it. Separate the blouse portion and have it tailored to your fit.

What blouse colours suit it?

Pink picks up the roses for a soft, coordinated look. Gold matches the edge for festive wear. For contrast, a deep green blouse echoes the leaves and sets off the red-orange body.

Is it sheer?

Kota silk is light and slightly sheer, so the colour of what is underneath can show. Wear it over a petticoat in a matching red or orange shade so the body colour looks even and the embroidery stands out cleanly.

How should I wash it?

Dry clean is preferred, especially to protect the embroidery. If you hand wash, use mild detergent and cool water, wash it separately since the colour is hand dyed, and dry in the shade.
