Hypnotic Eri Tussar Silk Embroidered Off White Saree

What is the design on this saree?

Coral-pink floral vines and roses are embroidered densely across the ivory body, with the flowers close together so the whole drape carries the pattern. The warm coral against the soft ivory gives it a gentle, romantic look, finished by a softly striped pallu.

Is the pallu as busy as the body?

No, it is kept simple. The pallu is banded with soft gold and cream stripes, giving a gentle shimmer, so the dense rose-covered body remains the focus of the saree. The attached blouse piece comes in the pallu colour.

What petticoat should I wear under it?

A cream or skin-tone petticoat keeps the pale silk looking clean, as coloured petticoats can show through in bright light. A smooth, well-fitted cotton petticoat helps the pleats fall evenly.

Which blouse suits cream and coral?

A coral or peach blouse picks up the roses and looks soft. A gold blouse is festive, and a sage green blouse gives a fresh contrast. Pearl jewellery suits the romantic design.

Will the colour vary?

The saree is hand dyed, so slight variations in shade are natural from piece to piece. Screens also shift pale colours, but expect a soft ivory close to the photo, with the coral-pink embroidery standing out clearly against it.

How do I keep it clean?

Dry clean only. Store it wrapped in a cotton cloth in a dry place, away from perfume and direct sunlight, and change the folds now and then. Have any stain treated by a professional rather than rubbing it.
