What does embroidery with beads work add to a printed saree?
Beads are stitched over the printed surface, so the pattern gains raised, rounded highlights that catch light from a different angle than flat print does. Print alone reads as colour; beads add relief, which is what stops a printed saree from looking like plain printed cloth.
How is this different from a traditional saree?
A traditional saree is a single unstitched length that must be tucked at the waist, hand pleated, set at the pallu and pinned, which takes practice and ten to twenty minutes. This one arrives with the pleats already formed and held, so you step in and set the pallu.
What is the blouse made of?
Two tone satin silk, stitched to fit up to 38 inch with margin left inside the seams so a tailor can let it out to 42 inch. Two tone means warp and weft carry different coloured yarns, so the blouse shifts between two shades as it moves.
Is this saree easy to carry when travelling?
Yes. Because it needs no draping, you can get dressed anywhere in about a minute without help and without a long mirror. That is a real advantage for a destination wedding or any function where you arrive close to the start time with no one to assist you.
