Is the zari woven in or embroidered on?
Embroidered on. The specification lists zari embroidered work, which means the metallic-look thread is stitched onto the surface of the fabric rather than being part of the weave. That is why the motifs stand slightly proud of the ground and catch light along the stitch line.
What does a lace finish on the blouse mean?
Lace is applied as a decorative trim rather than embroidery worked into the fabric. It gives the blouse a finished edge and some detail without the weight or the placement restrictions that a fully embroidered blouse piece brings, so a tailor has more freedom with the cut.
Is this saree light enough for a long function?
Yes. Poly silk is a light construction to begin with, and zari embroidery adds surface detail rather than significant mass. The saree stays comfortable across several hours, and because poly silk resists creasing the drape looks tidy at the end of the evening as well.
Does the zari embroidery sit flat against the fabric?
No. Because the metallic-look thread is stitched onto the surface rather than woven into the cloth, the motifs stand slightly proud of the ground. That relief is what catches light along the stitch line, and it is also why the worked areas feel different under a fingertip.
