What is a lycra value addition fabric?
It is a trade term for a stretch lycra base that has had a surface treatment added to it. On this saree that treatment is the animal print. The lycra supplies the stretch and the drape, while the added layer supplies the pattern and the visual interest.
Does an animal print work on a saree?
On a stretch base it works better than on a stiff one. Because lycra follows the body, the print curves with the drape instead of breaking across hard folds, so the pattern stays continuous. It reads as a modern party look rather than a traditional one.
Why is the blouse black rather than green?
The saree carries both green and black, and the blouse picks up the black. That is a deliberate pairing: a black raw silk blouse anchors a printed saree and stops the outfit looking busy, while a green blouse would compete with the print for attention.
Is this saree easy to travel with?
Unusually so. Lycra resists creasing almost completely because the elastic fibre pulls the cloth back into shape, so the saree comes out of a bag ready to wear. That makes it a practical choice for a destination function where pressing facilities are uncertain.
