Elegant Bansbara Tussar Silk Handloom Orange Brown Saree

What are the pale lines on the body?

Fine, pale horizontal thread lines run across the terracotta ground, giving it a light pinstripe over the slub texture. They soften the warm colour and give the surface a quiet rhythm, so a plain saree looks lively without any print.

Are the tassels part of the design?

Yes, the pallu end is finished with coral tassels that echo the saree's warm shade. They are a small, playful detail that shows when you leave the pallu loose or tuck it at the waist, and they keep the plain body from looking too formal.

What blouse colours suit a warm terracotta?

Teal, peacock blue and bottle green give a rich contrast, while cream or off-white keeps it light for office wear. For festive occasions, a gold tissue or brocade blouse brings out the warmth. The attached blouse piece can also be stitched to your fit.

Is it easy to wear for long hours?

Yes. It looks light, with a fine handloom weave and no heavy work, just tassels at the pallu end. That keeps it easy to carry from a morning meeting through to an evening dinner. A cotton petticoat and a couple of pins at the shoulder keep the pleats neat.

How should I wash it?

Dry cleaning is preferred for a hand-dyed saree. If washing at home, use a mild detergent, wash it separately in cold water, and dry it in the shade rather than in strong sun. Iron on a low to medium setting.

What length is the saree?

The saree is about 6.3 to 6.4 metres long, including the attached blouse piece. After the blouse is separated, there is a comfortable length for regular pleats and a pallu that falls well over the shoulder.
