Brown Poly Silk Designer Saree with Heavy Embroidery

Product details

Brown poly silk carries heavy embroidery on this designer saree. The product record does not hold a length, a width, a blouse arrangement or a wash care instruction for this design, so what follows is confined to the colour, the fabric and the embroidery work that are recorded. Heavy embroidery is a description of density rather than of technique, and it changes a saree in ways worth understanding before buying. The most immediate is weight. Dense stitching adds mass, and on a saree that mass hangs from one shoulder for the length of an event. It also changes the drape. Where a plain saree falls in soft continuous folds, a heavily worked one breaks into fewer, broader planes, because the stiffened embroidered areas will not bend as tightly. Pleats come out wider and the pallu holds more shape. Poly silk is polyester finished to resemble silk. It contains no silk, but its firmness is exactly what a densely embroidered saree needs, since a soft ground would pucker between the motifs. Brown is an unusual and useful saree colour, warmer than grey and less formal than black, and it takes gold or copper-toned jewellery particularly well. A slight colour variation may occur because of lighting, camera flash and screen settings, and mid-brown shades shift noticeably between warm and cool light.
