Figures are for this saree at this price. They move between sarees because yarn prices move; they do not move between the day you look and the day you buy.

The yarn is tied and dyed before it reaches the loom, so the motif has a deliberately feathered edge. A crisp edge on an ikat means it was printed.
Dry clean only. Store rolled rather than hung.

Silk resist-dyed before weaving, in madder red with a woven geometric border. The soft edge on the motif is the ikat, not a flaw.
