What is embossed velvet?
Velvet with a pattern pressed into the pile under heat and pressure. The flattened areas reflect light differently from the standing pile around them, so the design shows through contrast in texture rather than in colour. It is permanent and part of the fabric surface.
Does the velvet make this saree heavy?
Velvet adds weight where it sits, and the sequin embroidery adds a little more, so this is a more substantial saree than a plain lycra. The stretch base offsets that by holding the fabric against the body, so it feels less bulky than the weight suggests.
Is this suitable for a winter function?
It suits winter well. Velvet holds warmth better than a light woven fabric, maroon deepens rather than brightens under warm indoor lighting, and lycra sits close to the body. A winter wedding function, an evening reception or a party are all natural fits.
What lengths and sizes are supplied?
The saree is 5.50 m and the blouse piece is a separate 0.80 m unstitched cut in maroon raw silk, sized for 32-42 inches. A tailor cuts the blouse to your exact measurement within that range and finishes the neckline and sleeves to your preference.
