Impressionistic Handwoven Pure Linen Pink Saree

What is the pattern on the Impressionistic saree?

It uses large colour blocks rather than a small print. A hot-pink centre panel is framed by pale pink check blocks lined with silvery stripes, and dark aubergine edges run along the sides. It reads like one big graphic check that shifts as you pleat and drape it.

How do the aubergine edges change the look?

The deep aubergine sides frame all that pink, so the saree never looks sugary. When pleated, the dark edges line up along the fall of the pleats and give the drape definition. An aubergine blouse would echo them nicely.

Where would I wear it?

Think of it first as a workwear saree with plenty of personality. The pink and silver also suit festive gatherings, kitty parties and brunches, and it is easy enough to wear on an ordinary weekday too.

Does it come with a blouse piece?

It does. The blouse piece is attached and in the pallu colour; cut it off before stitching. A three-quarter sleeve keeps it formal for the office, while a deeper back gives it a party feel.

Is it heavy to wear?

No. Linen is a breathable fabric, and this saree looks light in weight despite its bold colour. Linen is known for keeping you cool in hot weather, and it has a characteristic crisp texture that becomes softer with each wash.
