Brought in from France, this silver grey 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. 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.
