The story of this piece
The border and body were joined in korvai, so the peach never bleeds into the violet. The weaver set the peacock scrollwork in three rows and left the pallu jaal deliberately loose, so the grid softens when the saree is worn rather than standing stiff.

Moonlit violet with a pale peach border
A violet body that deepens to plum in the folds, closed by a wide peach border worked in gold peacock scrolls. Cool against warm — the pairing that makes it read as evening wear.
