Is the blouse made from the same fabric as the saree?
No. The saree is Armani tulle with stones, while the blouse is cut from Maharani net. The two sit differently against the skin and can take dye at slightly different rates, so a small difference in shade between saree and blouse is possible.
What does hand work mean on this saree?
It means the beads and sequence discs are placed and stitched one at a time rather than applied by machine. The benefit is control over density, so the work can concentrate where the design calls for it and thin out elsewhere instead of repeating at a fixed interval.
How does the tulle base drape?
Tulle has a very fine mesh and a soft handle, so it falls close to the body rather than standing away from it the way a stiff structural net does. The saree drapes softly, and the stones set into the base give that soft ground fixed points of reflection.
Is a lining needed underneath?
Yes, plan for a lining or a matched petticoat. The tulle base is sheer between the beaded and stone-set areas, which is normal for any tulle drape. Sorting this out before the function rather than on the day avoids a last-minute problem.
What blouse size is supplied?
The blouse is stitched to 38 inch, with margin left in the seams so a tailor can let it out to 42 inch if required. It ships made up rather than as loose cloth, so confirm your own measurement sits inside that range before placing the order.
