Frequently Asked Questions

This soft blue works well with a contrasting ivory, silver, or deep navy blouse for a classic look, or a metallic gold blouse if you want more warmth against the cool base.

A butis pattern places individual motifs at intervals across the fabric rather than in a continuous connected lattice, giving the saree a lighter, more scattered look compared to a dense jaal.
