Alluring Pure Tissue Linen Pink Handdyed Saree

How does the silvery pallu work against the pink body?

The orchid pink body runs into a silvery-white pallu, so the saree shifts from colour to shimmer as it drapes over your shoulder. It creates a soft contrast rather than a loud one, and the pallu becomes the focal point when you wear it open or pleated over the arm.

What is the border like?

A wide silver band runs along the edges, echoing the pallu and giving the plain pink body a clear frame. It picks up light along the pleats, so even though the body has no pattern, the saree has a defined, finished line from waist to hem.

What colour is the blouse fabric?

The blouse fabric is in the pallu colour, so here it carries the silvery-white tone rather than the pink. It comes attached to the saree, and your tailor cuts it off and stitches it. A silver blouse against the pink body keeps the contrast going.

Is tissue linen see-through?

Tissue linen has a delicate, slightly sheer texture, a bit like fine tissue paper with a sheen. In bright light you may see some of what is beneath, so wear a petticoat close to the body colour, in a soft pink, for a clean look.

How does it feel to wear for a full day?

It is light and breathable, so it does not drag or feel warm even after hours of wear. The fabric falls softly and airily, which makes it easy to manage at work, at a brunch or through a long evening without constant re-pinning.

Can I wash it at home?

Dry cleaning is preferred, but a gentle hand wash with a mild detergent works too. Wash it separately, since it is hand dyed, and dry it in the shade. Avoid wringing hard; press out water gently to protect the silver detailing.
