Cast in a deep charcoal grey, this French Chantilly lace saree piece is densely patterned with floral scrollwork and woven with metallic thread, then finished with hand-placed stone work for a polished, understated shine. Imported from France, it is supplied as one complete piece measuring 5.5 metres in length and 110 centimetres in width, meant to be tailored into a single saree rather than sold as running fabric. Its deep neutral tone suits a woman seeking a sophisticated, contemporary saree for a formal dinner, wedding reception, or evening celebration where a darker palette is preferred. The floral Chantilly lace can be tailored directly into a complete saree, or the pattern used to design a coordinating embellished blouse. Fine and lightweight, the net base drapes smoothly and holds its shape through long hours of wear.
