What is leheriya?
Leheriya takes its name from the word for wave, and the pattern appears as diagonal stripes running across the cloth. Traditionally the effect comes from rolling and tying the fabric before dyeing, which produces the characteristic angled bands across the full width of the saree.
Is the leheriya here tied or printed?
Printed. The specification records the print style as Leheriya Digital Print, so the diagonal bands are applied by digital printing rather than by rolling and tying the cloth. That gives an even stripe width and a consistent angle along the whole length.
Why do diagonal stripes suit a saree?
A diagonal stripe carries the eye along the length of the drape rather than cutting across it, which many wearers find flattering. On a saree the pattern also breaks in interesting ways as the pleats fold, so the stripe direction changes across the front.
How heavy is the work on this saree?
Lighter than on several others in this group. The specification records sequins embroidery with pearl handwork, without the stone and mirror elements found on the bandhej pieces. That makes this a more restrained drape and a slightly easier one to carry.
What blouse piece comes in the package?
An unstitched Satin Silk blouse piece measuring 0.80 m in maroon. It arrives as flat fabric for a tailor to cut and stitch to your own measurements, so allow tailoring time between delivery and the function you plan to wear it to.
