Impressive Silk Linen Embroidered Blue Saree

What is the embroidery like on the navy base?

The deep navy body is covered in paisleys joined by leafy green vines, stitched in pink, coral, green and cream. The bright threads stand out sharply against the dark base, and the all-over work gives the saree a rich, dressed look.

How dense is the work?

Fairly dense. The sprigs and paisleys are spread closely across the fabric, with only small gaps of navy between them. From a distance it reads as a rich all-over pattern; up close you can pick out each leaf and petal.

What should I pair with it?

The attached blouse piece is in the pallu colour. For a different look, a pink or peach blouse picks up the thread colours, and a gold blouse makes it festive. Silver jewellery keeps it cool and modern.

Is silk linen comfortable for a long day?

Linen is prized for its durability and breathability, and silk for its softness and sheen, and this saree blends the two. That makes it an easy choice for summer functions and daytime gatherings where you will be on your feet for hours.

Does the embroidery need special handling?

Yes, a little. The saree is dry clean only, which protects the stitching. When ironing, use low heat on the reverse side, and avoid spraying perfume directly onto the embroidered areas.
