Lavender is the colour a woman buys for herself.
Nobody gifts it, nobody expects it, and it is almost never the shade a family picks out for you — which is precisely why it turns up on the women who look most like themselves at a function. It is soft without being pale, it suits warm and cool complexions equally, and it sits beautifully in daylight where the deeper festive shades can look heavy before noon.
The leheriya
Leheriya means wave, and the pattern only works on the diagonal. A diagonal line travels with a draped body instead of cutting across it, so the lavender moves as you walk rather than sitting flat. Printed here in the Kalamkari manner, with a gold border closing both edges and the pattern massed into a designer pallu.
Wear it to
A daytime function. A seemantham or a baby shower. Haldi, if you would rather not be in yellow. An office Diwali where full silk would be too much.
Care
Soft silk, 6.3 m including the blouse piece. Dry clean only. Lavender is a dye that fades in sunlight faster than most, so store it folded in cotton and away from a window.
