What is lehariya and how is it different from bandhani?
Lehariya takes its name from the word for wave and appears as diagonal stripes running across the cloth. Bandhani is a dotted pattern made traditionally by tying tiny points before dyeing. This saree carries a printed version that combines both motifs on one ground.
Is this saree actually tie-dyed?
No. The specification records the print style as Bandhani Lehariya Print, so the pattern is printed onto the Two Tone Satin Silk rather than produced by tying and dyeing the cloth. A printed pattern repeats evenly along the length, which hand tie-dye does not.
What blouse piece comes with this saree?
An unstitched blouse piece in Satin Silk measuring 0.80 Mtr is included. It arrives as flat fabric so a tailor can cut and stitch it to your own measurements. Allow time for tailoring between delivery and the function you plan to wear it to.
How soon does this saree dispatch?
Dispatch is recorded as next day after stock confirmation. That means the order leaves once stock has been checked against the listing rather than immediately on payment. Delivery time on top of that depends on your address and the courier serving your pincode.
Is this a ready-to-wear saree?
No. The saree type is recorded as Regular, so it comes as an uncut length of fabric that you drape and pleat yourself or with help. It is not stitched into a pre-pleated or ready-to-wear form with a fixed waist.
