Size & Drape Guide
Every saree we sell is one size. What changes is how the weave behaves.
Measurements
- Saree length — 5.5 metres
- Blouse piece — 0.8 metres, included with every saree
- Width — 1.1 to 1.2 metres depending on the loom
Handloom width varies by a few centimetres between pieces. That is the loom, not an error.
How each weave drapes
- Mul cotton — Soft and close. Falls in narrow pleats and creases easily — the creases are part of the look.
- Chanderi — Sheer and structured. Holds a crisp pleat and catches light; needs a full-length petticoat.
- Kota Doria — Light and airy with an open check. Starches well and keeps its shape through an evening.
- Hand block cotton — Everyday weight. Sits heavier than mul, softens with each wash, forgiving to pleat.
- Indigo dabu — Dense cotton with body. Deepens in colour over the first few washes.
Fall and pico
First orders include a free fall and pico finish. Say so when we call to confirm, and tell us if you want the fall in a matching or contrast shade.
Care
- Hand wash cold and separately for the first three washes
- Dry in shade — direct sun fades natural dyes
- Chanderi and silk-cotton blends are dry clean only
- Do not wring; press while slightly damp
