Pitta Handwork Pure Silk Kota Doria Saree Yellow

How bright is the yellow?

It is a vivid, sunny yellow, and Kota's sheer weave lets light through, so it glows in daylight. The pitta border along the edges shows in gold and silver tones, framing an otherwise plain body.

Does it work for a daytime wedding function?

Yes. A bright yellow pitta saree is a natural fit for daytime wedding functions and festive mornings, where the sheer Kota lets the light through and the border catches it. It also carries into an engagement or roka, a sangeet, or an evening reception with gold jewellery and a lined blouse.

Does Kota Doria silk need a lining?

The saree is sheer, so wear a matching yellow petticoat and line the blouse. The pallu is best left unlined so its lightness shows, and a petticoat in the same yellow keeps the colour even through the drape.

Which blouse colours suit yellow?

A blouse piece comes attached to the saree. For colour, a gold blouse picks up the border and black gives a crisp contrast; magenta, green or royal blue make bold festive contrasts, and a mirror or sequinned blouse adds sparkle for a sangeet.

Is the pitta handwork?

Yes, it is hand embroidery, done at the Indiehaat unit in Kota under master artisan Haq Nawaz. Small irregularities in the pitta are a natural part of handwork and make each piece individual.

How do I care for it?

Dry clean only. Store it in a separate bag in a dry place, change the folds regularly, and air it in dry weather. Keep a bright yellow away from strong sun in storage to stop it fading.
