About zari lae

1. Width of the Laceï Narrow borders (1ï2 cm) for subtle look; wider lace (4ï10 cm) for a more showy/premium appearance.

2. Material Compatibilityï Lace should match saree fabric: e.g. delicate fabric (tissue, chiffon, net) works better with lighter lace; heavier silk or brocade can carry heavy lace.

3. Colour / Metal Toneï Gold, silver, copper tones, or mixed metals. Make sure the metallic tone of the lace complements or matches the zari work already on the saree.

4. Durability & Maintenanceï Real zari tarnishes over time, imitation might lose shine. Seams need care. Dry clean if the saree/fabric is delicate.

5. Hand vs Machine Workï Handwoven/hand finished is costlier, shows finer craftsmanship
