Banarasi borders collection

by Ranjana's Craft Blog · November 12, 2022

I like to design sarees with Banarasi borders. In fact, any readymade borders like lace, or tatted lace etc makes it easy to design a saree. I have designed many sarees , using laces. I have have a collection of all kinds of laces. The stash of my white laces are shared in one of the posts. In this post sharing some banras borders collection I have.

Banarasi borders with vine designs:

Let me start with this simple border:

Simple Banarasi border

This is simple border, very less width. Vine and floral design weaved with dull gold zari. This is good for any simple saree or it can be used with any other fabric as saree border.

The next one is broad one, in light green color. This too has floral and vine designs weaved, with little white thread. I am going o use this for a light green saree.
