Purple, plum and a little stage light
Only sarees here, all for the sangeet, and purple runs right through them. Lilac, mauve, plum and wine, often with a metallic finish that picks up the stage lights. If you've already decided to drape, this is the quickest way to compare.
For the most sparkle, our pick is the Lilac metallic satin with hand-beaded cut dana and matching long-sleeve blouse fabric. Cut dana catches the light at every angle, which is exactly what you want on stage. The wine knitted sequin saree is made for dancing, and the Banarasi plum temple pure silk is there for anyone who loves a weave.
Not every sangeet is a ballroom. For a close-family musical evening, the Maheshwari silk cotton, a blush lavender linen and our hand block prints feel softer, and you'll wear them again at Diwali. Short on time? The Grey Lilac Magic metallic arrives with a grey jacquard blouse, and the Wisteria purple pre-drape has a handy pocket.
Good to know
Which saree is easiest to dance in?
Light chiffon and satin move well. A pre-draped saree is the safest, because the pleats are stitched in place.
Is purple a good colour for a sangeet?
We think so. Purple and plum look rich under evening lights and sit well with gold or silver jewellery.
How should I store a cut dana or sequin saree?
Fold it with tissue between the layers, and avoid hanging heavy beadwork for long. Dry cleaning is safest.
