What does two tone satin silk mean?
It is woven with different coloured yarns in the warp and the weft, so the surface shifts between two shades as the cloth moves and turns in the light. On a pale ground like cream that shift is subtle, and it is what keeps the saree from looking flat in photographs.
Do I need to know how to drape a saree?
No. The pleats arrive already formed and secured, so you step into the saree and set the pallu on the shoulder. There is no tucking, hand pleating or pinning of six metres of unstitched cloth, which is the part that normally takes practice to get right.
What comes with this saree?
A stitched blouse in satin silk in cream, made up to 38 inch with margin up to 42 inch, and a belt. The saree itself arrives in its ready-to-wear drape form, so the three pieces together are everything you need to get dressed for the event.
Is cream a good colour for an evening function?
Cream reads clearly in daylight and under soft or warm indoor lighting, where the two tone weave and the sequin work both read clearly. Under very dim evening lighting a pale ground can lose definition, so a daytime function or an early evening event suits it better.
How soon does it ship?
Dispatch is listed as next day after stock confirmation. Stock confirmation is the step where we check the piece is physically available before the order moves, so build a day into your planning on top of the courier transit time to your address.
