What is bandhani?
Bandhani is a tie-resist dyeing tradition from Gujarat and Rajasthan in which cloth is knotted at thousands of tiny points before being dyed, leaving undyed dots behind. The word comes from the same root as bandhan, meaning to tie. This saree carries a printed version of that pattern.
Is the bandhani on this saree printed or tied?
Printed. The specification records the print style as Bandhani Print, so the dot pattern is applied to the Two Tone Satin Silk by printing. That gives an even, repeating dot across the full length, whereas genuine tied bandhani varies in dot size and spacing.
Why does the green look like more than one shade?
The fabric is Two Tone Satin Silk, meaning different coloured yarns run through the warp and the weft. As the cloth folds and turns, light picks up one set of yarns and then the other, so the same green reads deeper at a fold and lighter across a flat face.
What size is the blouse piece?
The blouse piece measures 0.80 Mtr and is supplied in Satin Silk, unstitched. That is a standard length for a fitted blouse for most builds, but your tailor should confirm it against your measurements and preferred sleeve length before cutting into the fabric.
Which occasions suit a green bandhani saree?
Green with bandhani has a long association with Navratri and with celebrations across Gujarat and Rajasthan, so a garba night, a mehendi or a morning puja all suit it. It reads as festive daywear more naturally than as formal evening reception wear.
