Bunaiya Pure Noil Kota Cotton Saree Yellow

What does the embroidery look like on the Bunaiya saree?

A white vine-and-leaf border runs along the edge, and small white flowers are scattered across a lime-yellow check. The pallu follows the body rather than switching to a heavy design, so the saree stays light and fresh, with the embroidery giving it texture up close.

Does it come with a blouse?

No, the Bunaiya saree comes on its own, without a blouse or blouse piece. It measures 6.3 to 6.4 metres, so you have a generous length for pleats and pallu. Plan a separate blouse; a ready-made white or cream one is the simplest match.

What blouse would go with it?

White picks up the embroidery and keeps the look crisp, which works well for the office. A green or deep yellow blouse makes it brighter for a haldi or puja. For a little contrast, try a soft grey or navy, which still lets the white flowers stand out.

Is the fabric sheer?

Noil Kota cotton is light and airy with a slightly open check, so it is semi-sheer, especially on a bright body in sunlight. Wear it with a petticoat matched closely to the saree colour; a fitted petticoat also gives a neater fall at the hips.

Who weaves the Bunaiya sarees?

They are sourced directly from Roy Das, a handloom weaver in West Bengal. The fabric is woven on a traditional handloom and then finished with embroidery and applique detailing, so you may see tiny irregularities in the weave or stitching. Those are marks of handwork and make each saree its own.

How should I wash it?

Give it a gentle hand wash with a mild detergent, on its own, and dry it in the shade. Turn it inside out before washing so the embroidery is protected, and press the water out with a towel instead of wringing. Iron on the reverse side to keep the flowers raised.
