Varnika Gray Block Print Kota Doria Saree

What is the body print like?

The body is covered in damask-like scrolls in muted, earthy tones, so it has the look of an old brocade pattern translated into block print. It is quiet from a distance and detailed up close, with the orange borders adding warmth at the edges.

Why does the pallu look so different?

The pallu switches to a pale ground with bouquets placed across it, a clear break from the dense scrolls of the body. Bright orange floral borders with a white silvery edge tie the two together, so the saree has a calm body and a fresh, open pallu.

Where would I wear it?

Office wear first: the muted scroll body looks polished at a desk. The orange borders bring enough warmth for a mehndi, and it is easy enough for everyday wear and light enough to pack for summer travel.

What blouse would suit it?

Orange from the border gives a lively contrast. A dusty pink blouse picks up the bouquets on the pallu for a softer look, and a crisp white blouse keeps it clean and office-ready.

Is a blouse piece included?

Yes, it is attached to the saree. The saree measures 6.3 to 6.4 metres with the blouse fabric joined to it, and the blouse is cut away and stitched to your fit, so you can choose a high neck for office or a deeper back for evenings.

What is the texture of Kota Doria like?

It has small square checks woven into it, called khats, and an airy, sheer, soft hand. You can feel the open grid when you run it between your fingers, and it is what lets the saree stay light even with an all-over print.
