Brought in from France, this soft lavender to plum purple ombre saree is cut from a single 5.5 metre piece of premium pure French Chantilly lace, an open floral net weave prized for its light weight and airy, romantic texture with a hand-blended ombre wash that shifts gently from one shade into the next along the drape. At 110cm in width the lace is finished with a delicate scalloped edge along the pallu, so it drapes with a soft fall rather than a stiff structure, and pairs beautifully over a contrast slip or an inner blouse in a matching or complementary shade for a layered, couture-style finish. The floral lace motifs are woven in a tonal thread so the pattern reveals itself in changing light without ever looking flat. It suits evening receptions, cocktail parties, festive get-togethers and other dressy occasions where a soft, romantic silhouette is wanted rather than heavy embroidery. Being a piece good, the full 5.5 metres is cut and handed over as one length, giving a tailor everything needed to drape, pleat or stitch to the wearer's preferred style. Please note the blouse is not included.
