What is Zari Kattam in this ivory Kanjivaram?

Zari Kattam describes the fine grid formed by metallic threads across the ivory body. Here the grid stays delicate, allowing the small gold buttas and broad border to stand out.

What is special about the fresh-green edge?

A narrow thulir-pachai, or new-leaf green, selvedge traces the pale gold border. This restrained green line gives the ivory and gold a fresh finish.

Can the Varisaipet border be carried onto the blouse?

The blouse is planned with the corresponding multi-band Varisaipet and veldhari border treatment. Discuss the sleeve placement when arranging Idam Living custom stitching.

Is the pallu as simple as the main body?

No. The body has subtle zari lines, while the pallu is much denser with ornate gold brocade and fine patterned panels.

Why may the ivory silk appear warmer in evening lighting?

The metallic threads reflect the surrounding light, so the gold can look stronger indoors. The fabric remains the same; daylight photos can help assess its true colour.
