Cream and Red Woven Silk Designer Saree with Thread and Zari Work

Product details

Cream and red woven silk makes up this designer saree, worked with thread and zari embroidery. It comes with a raw silk blouse in red. GST at 5 percent is included in the price shown on this page, so the amount displayed is the amount charged when the order is placed. Woven silk means the pattern is built on the loom as part of the cloth rather than printed or embroidered onto it afterwards. That makes the design structural: it reads on both faces of the fabric, it cannot rub off or fade unevenly, and it gives the saree a depth that surface decoration alone does not produce. Over that woven ground sit two embroidery techniques. Thread embroidery fills motifs in coloured thread with a soft matte finish, giving the design body and colour. Zari is metallic-look thread, used to draw reflective lines through and around those motifs so the whole design catches light at the edges. The blouse is listed in red raw silk, a contrast against the cream ground of the saree. Raw silk carries visible slubs and enough body to hold a structured cut. Cream with red is one of the most established pairings in Indian dressing and reads festive without being heavy. A wedding function, a puja or a daytime reception all suit it, and gold jewellery follows the zari naturally. GST at 5 percent is included in the displayed price. Cream picks up the colour of the light around it, so the ground may read warmer indoors and cooler in daylight than the photograph suggests.
