Bansbara Tussar Silk Handloom Saree Watermelon Red

What does the kantha pattern look like on this one?

Rows of short white running stitches cross the base from edge to edge, with the pallu continuing the same pattern. The contrast between the deep coral-red and the white is crisp, so the stripes stand out clearly, and tassels finish the ends.

Which blouse goes with it?

A white or ivory blouse picks up the kantha dashes and keeps the look light. For festive wear, gold or a deep maroon gives it richness. Black makes a sharp, modern pairing. Avoid a near-match red, which can look muddy next to the coral tone of the saree.

Will the red bleed?

This saree is hand dyed, so always wash it on its own, gently and in mild detergent, and dry it in the shade straight after. That protects the white stitching. If you want the white rows to stay bright, dry cleaning is the preferred care.

Is there a blouse piece?

Yes, the blouse fabric is attached to the saree. The 6.3 to 6.4 metre length includes it; separate it before you drape the saree and have it tailored to your fit and preferred sleeve length.

Which occasions suit it?

The coral-red with white kantha rows is bright enough for festive days and evening dinners, yet tidy enough for the office. It also suits kitty parties and brunches. Switch between a white blouse for daytime and gold or maroon for evening.
