Splendid Ikkat Slub Linen Handloom Green Saree

How is the Splendid saree patterned?

Medium-sized ikat medallions run all over the lime body, so it looks full and patterned. The pallu moves into deep teal with a diamond ikat design, and lime-and-teal stripes run between the two, with tassels at the end.

Which blouse colours work with lime and teal?

The attached blouse piece is in the pallu colour, so teal is the ready match and it grounds the bright body. If you would rather tailor a separate blouse, deep green, navy or a soft white all sit well. Keep the neckline simple, since the medallions already give plenty of pattern.

Will my saree look exactly like the pictures?

Close, but not identical. The yarns are tied and dyed by hand before weaving, so the medallions can sit slightly differently from piece to piece. Screen settings can also shift how the lime appears.

How long is it?

It runs 6.3 to 6.4 metres, and the blouse piece comes attached to it. Once you cut the blouse piece away, there is still a comfortable amount of fabric for neat pleats and a full pallu over the shoulder.

How should I wash it?

Wash it by hand in a mild detergent and keep it apart from other clothes, since the yarns are hand-dyed. Don't scrub the slubs; just swish it gently, press out the water, and dry it in the shade.
