Graceful Pure Tissue Linen Blue Handdyed Saree

How does the checked pallu look?

The pallu has large block checks in lime and gold, finished with tassels. Against the turquoise body, it brings in a bright, almost citrus contrast, so the saree looks lively without any heavy work. It shows best when you let the pallu fall open over the shoulder.

Are the borders gold or green?

Both. The border is a gold striped band with hints of green running through it, tying it to the lime tones in the pallu. On the turquoise body it gives a clean, defined edge that looks especially neat in the pleats.

What colour is the attached blouse fabric?

The blouse fabric is in the pallu colour and comes attached to the saree, so it follows the lime-gold of the pallu rather than the turquoise. Your tailor separates and stitches it. It pairs well with the body and echoes the checks.

What colour petticoat should I wear under it?

Tissue linen is slightly sheer, so choose a petticoat close to the turquoise body, or a sea green. That keeps the drape looking even in daylight. Avoid white or very dark petticoats, which can show through the fabric.

What care routine does it need?

Dry clean when you can. For a home wash, use a gentle hand wash with mild detergent, wash it on its own since it is hand dyed, and dry it in shade. A low-heat iron will smooth it out; keep the iron off the tassels.

Will the colour look the same as on my screen?

It should be very close, though screens vary and hand-dyed fabric is never exactly uniform. The turquoise may read a shade lighter or deeper depending on the light, and small dye irregularities are part of the handcrafted character.
