Sarees - frequently asked questions

How many sarees does Vpnam have and what do they cost?

There are 300 saree designs live in this category. Prices run from ₹1,270 to ₹11,599, with the midpoint near ₹2,793. Eighty-one designs sit under ₹2,000 and 159 under ₹3,000, so most of the range is reachable on a modest budget. The heavier handwork and stitched-blouse designs sit above ₹4,000.

Which saree fabric is best if I have to wear it all day?

Georgette is the easiest to stay in for hours. It has a fine grain that grips itself, so the pleats hold and the pallu stays where you pin it, and it does not need constant adjusting. Cotton is the cooler choice for a daytime function. Satin silk looks best in photographs but slips more, so it needs extra pins.

Does a Vpnam saree come with a blouse?

Fifty-six listings state a package of one saree and one blouse. In most cases that blouse is a piece of unstitched fabric, given as 0.80 metre on 44 listings, which your tailor cuts to fit. Twenty-seven listings say the blouse is stitched and arrives ready to wear. The individual product page states which one applies.

How long is the saree and how wide is the fabric?

Forty-three listings state the saree length as 5.5 metres with a 0.80 metre blouse piece, which is the standard Indian saree length. Forty-three listings also give the fabric width as 44 inches. If a length or width is not printed on a product page, it has not been supplied for that design and should be confirmed before ordering.

What is Khatli work on a saree?

Khatli is a hook-and-frame technique. The fabric is stretched on a wooden frame and the karigar works from the reverse with a fine hook, pulling thread, bead or sequin through in a continuous chain. Because the stitch runs unbroken, the front face looks smoother than needle embroidery. Nine sarees in this category carry it.

How should I wash a saree bought from Vpnam?

Sixty-nine listings in this category state dry clean only, and that is the safest route for anything carrying thread, sequin or bead. Never wring a worked saree. If a product page gives no care line, treat it as dry clean, keep it away from perfume sprayed directly onto the cloth, and press on the reverse with a cloth between iron and fabric.

Will the saree colour look the same as it does on screen?

Thirty-two listings carry a note saying slight variation may occur due to lighting, flash and screen settings. Photographs are shot under studio lights, and phone screens shift warm or cool depending on their own settings. Expect the shade to be close rather than identical, and take that into account before matching to jewellery or a blouse you already own.

Which Vpnam category should I open for a festival saree?

Open Festive Sarees. All 134 of those listings carry both a fabric and a work type in their specifications, which this general category often does not, and the stock is chosen for the Navratri to Diwali run. If you want the pleats already set, Ready-to-Wear Sarees covers the same season.
