What is cutdana?
Cutdana are small beads with flat faceted sides rather than a smooth round surface. Because each face sits at its own angle, they refract light in sharp points instead of returning a soft rounded highlight, which makes them read quite differently from plain beads or pearls.
Is the blouse fabric the same as the saree?
Almost, but not identical. The saree is metallic lustrous satin silk while the blouse is lustrous satin silk without the metallic finish, so the blouse sits a little softer against the skin while staying in the same fabric family and the same shade range.
How quickly can this saree be put on?
Much faster than a draped saree, since the pleats and fall are already formed and the blouse arrives stitched. There is no pinning, no setting and no tailoring stage, which is the main reason this style suits travel or a morning with several people getting ready.
Does the belt come with the saree?
Yes, a belt is listed among the accessories and ships with the set. It sits at the waist and holds the drape in position, which keeps a ready-to-wear saree from shifting as you move through a long function rather than needing constant readjustment.
Will the cutdana catch on things?
Faceted beads sit proud of the cloth, so handle the saree by the plain areas rather than the worked panels and keep it clear of rough jewellery or bag straps.
