Kantha Bloom Kota Silk Dyed Saree Sage Green

Where does the Kantha embroidery show on this saree?

The pallu carries lines of white running stitch, the signature of Kantha work, set in rows against the sage body. The rest of the saree has scattered gold oval buti and a gold check border, so the stitching on the pallu becomes the focal point.

Is the Kantha stitching done by hand?

Yes. Kantha is a hand embroidery craft built on running stitches, and that is the work on this saree. Because it is stitched by hand, the lines are not machine-perfect; small variations in spacing are part of the craft.

Will it be see-through?

Kota silk is airy and can be slightly sheer. A petticoat in a sage or skin tone keeps the drape clean. This matters most in bright daylight and in photographs, where a contrasting petticoat would show.

Does it come with a blouse piece?

Yes. The blouse piece is attached to the saree, which measures 6.3 to 6.4 metres in total. A gold blouse picks up the buti and border; a white blouse matches the Kantha lines on the pallu.

How should I care for embroidered Kota silk?

Dry cleaning is preferred, as it protects both the hand-dyed colour and the stitching. If you hand wash, use mild detergent, do not wring, wash it separately and dry it in the shade. Fold it with a cotton cloth between the layers.
