Black Jute Silk Designer Saree with Print and Stone Work

Product details

Black jute silk carries this designer saree, which is printed and finished with stone work across the drape. The saree measures 5.50 metres and includes an unstitched raw silk blouse piece of 0.80 metres in black, cut plain. GST at 12 percent is already included in the price shown on this page. Jute silk is a textured cloth with fine slubs through the surface and real body behind it. On a black ground that texture matters more than it does on a pale one, because black absorbs light and would otherwise read flat. The slub catches just enough light to show the weave and keep the saree from looking like a plain sheet. Stone work uses flat-backed stones fixed onto the cloth. Against black they read strongly, since the contrast between an absorbing ground and a reflecting stone is at its sharpest. The print underneath gives the stones their placement, so the two elements work as one design rather than two. An 0.80 metre blouse piece in black raw silk is supplied unstitched with a plain finish, ready for your tailor to cut in whichever neckline and sleeve style you prefer. Black with stone highlights is a straightforward evening choice and works for a party, a reception or a dinner function. Silver-tone or diamond-look jewellery picks up the stones more cleanly than gold does. GST at 12 percent is included in the displayed price. Black is difficult to photograph accurately, so the depth of the shade and the exact stone placement read better in hand than on a screen.
