Gleaming Gray Kota Doria Cotton Floral Embroidery Saree

How does the pink work on the grey?

The pale grey ground is cool and quiet, and the small pink sprigs give it gentle warmth. A vine band over a white lattice panel adds detail at the pallu side, and the fine check texture of the Kota Doria shows through the plain areas of the body.

What is the edge like?

A thin gold-toned edge outlines the saree. On grey, the gold reads warm and subtle, and it frames the white lattice panel with the floral vine, which is where most of the embroidery sits.

What kind of days is it made for?

Mostly to work: the grey is understated and professional, and the light, airy Kota Doria suits warm weather. It also suits summer travel, kitty parties and brunches, and temple visits or pujas.

What petticoat should I pick?

A pale grey or skin-tone petticoat works best under the sheer Kota Doria. Avoid white, which can look like a lighter patch under the grey, and avoid prints or dark colours that will show through.

Which blouse goes with a grey saree?

Pink picks up the sprigs and warms the face. A gold blouse matches the edge for dressier days. For the office, white, charcoal or a soft pink in cotton all work, with silver or pearl jewellery.

Does it come with a blouse piece?

Yes. The saree includes an unstitched blouse piece, and the full length is 6.3 to 6.4 metres including it. Have it tailored to your measurements and the neckline you prefer.
