Is this a lehenga or a saree?
It is a saree. The style is recorded as a ready-to-wear lehenga saree, which means it drapes as a saree while the lower fall reads like a lehenga skirt. There is no separate skirt piece and no dupatta. You receive the saree and a stitched blouse.
Does the blouse come stitched?
Yes. The blouse type is recorded as a stitched blouse in metallic lustrous satin silk, matching the saree. It is sized up to 38 inches with a margin allowing alteration up to 42 inches, so a tailor can let it out within that range if the fit needs adjusting.
What is cutdana work?
Cutdana are small beads with cut, faceted surfaces rather than smooth ones. Because each facet catches light at a different angle, they refract rather than simply reflect, so the surface sparkles from several directions at once. They are stitched on individually alongside plain beads and sequins.
How quickly does this dispatch?
Stock-confirmed orders are normally prepared for dispatch the next business day, according to the dispatch note on this design. That timing applies from the point stock is confirmed rather than from the moment the order is placed, so allow for confirmation before counting the days.
Do I need to pleat this saree myself?
No. It is a ready-to-wear design, so the drape is already set and it goes on without the pleating and tucking a traditional saree requires. That is the practical reason to choose this style: it saves considerable time before a function and holds its shape through the evening.
