Wedding dresses can become very expensive. Lehengas for one event. Sarees that are too heavy to be worn again. Clothes that look fantastic in pictures but don’t make it through an entire day. A Gold Kundan Banarasi Saree for Women resolves all these issues in one go. A dress that clicks great pictures, looks great in drape and stays timeless through many events without being passé by next season.

What sets a saree apart from an investment saree

Occasion wear can be purchased once. This saree cannot be. The fabric never becomes old-fashioned since Banarasi weaving is not a trend, but a tradition. Stone setting never goes out of fashion since this is an art form and not just a fad. Women who buy this saree for a wedding reception end up using the same outfit in their engagements, anniversaries, and other family functions.

What effect does the gold colour actually have on the aesthetic of the outfit?

The golden elements perform more functions than many would think. Firstly, the golden thread binds the Kundan stones and the Banarasi weave together so the decoration becomes inseparable from the fabric. Besides, the gold colouring makes the saree suitable for any complexion, whereas silver-toned embellishments usually don’t. In a banquet hall, the gold will capture the warmth of the environment and give life to the entire drape.

The mistake most people make while wearing it

Over-accessorising. There is no need for anything extra when it comes to a gold Kundan Banarasi saree because there are already plenty of elements - the fabric texture, stone embellishments, border pattern, and weight of the pallu. Wearing too much jewellery only makes the dress look cluttered. The right strategy is to keep things simple. A good pair of earrings, simple blouse, solid shoes, and a matching clutch is all that’s needed.

How to make sure of the authenticity of the quality

Carry out two tests before purchasing. Firstly, inspect the placement of Kundans - they have to be set flush to the cloth without protrusions or irregular spaces. Secondly, pay attention to the weight of the cloth - a Banarasi weave has an exact weight which cannot be replicated by synthetics. If shopping online, pay attention to the brands that provide pictures of borders and pallus in addition to the styled flat lays.

What are you really paying for

Creating one Banarasi saree takes days. Placing of each stone is done manually, one-by-one. The effort put into the creation of the authentic item is substantial, and it is reflected in the price. Collection of Gulbhahar's Gold Kundan Banarasi Saree for Women is based upon that principle.
