My mum bought this saree for me. It is a cotton silk mix, a lavender blue colour with a navy border and pallu. The threadwork on the body of the saree is not the traditional gold but cream. When my mum bought this in 2004 when she went to Tamil Nadu I thought the colour and style a trifle old fashioned, but in recent years am really loving the rare colour and look of the saree and I’ve been wearing this particular one to every large meeting we have organised. I love doing the opening day with it! Worn on Jan 11, 2016
