This slate grey French Chantilly lace saree piece pairs a fine diagonal sequin stripe across the body with a richly embellished paisley border running down the front and along the pallu, finished with hand-placed stone work for added dimension. Imported from France, it is supplied as one complete 5.5 metre by 110 centimetre piece, meant to be tailored into a single ready saree rather than sold as running fabric. The deep grey tone and concentrated border embellishment suit a woman seeking a chic, contemporary saree for a formal reception, festive dinner, or evening celebration. The border can be positioned to fall along the pallu edge for maximum visual impact, while the rest of the saree remains comparatively light for ease of movement. It can be tailored into a complete saree or the border pattern used to design a coordinating blouse.
