Silkmark Certified Vivid Pure Tussar Cutwork Yellow Saree

What does the yellow tussar look like?

It is a bright chartreuse-yellow tussar with a plain body and a wide lattice border of round floral medallions in cutwork, picked out in grey-green. Where the saree folds back, a muted purple reverse shows through. Yellow with grey-green and purple is fresh and bold, and the silk has a soft sheen.

What blouse comes with it?

The blouse piece is attached and comes in the pallu colour, within a total length of 6.3-6.4 metres. A muted purple blouse picks up the reverse side and makes the yellow look sharper, while a grey-green one echoes the medallion border; a yellow blouse keeps the look tonal.

What is Kosa silk?

Kosa is another name for Tussar silk, made from wild silkworm cocoons. It has a natural sheen and a rich, slightly uneven texture, and this saree is Silkmark certified as pure Tussar. The bright yellow ground shows that sheen off nicely.

Will there be small irregularities?

Yes, possibly. The cutwork is done by hand and the silk is from wild cocoons, so slight irregularities in the cut edges and texture are natural. They are part of what makes each handcrafted saree a little different from the next, and they give the piece its character.

How should I care for it?

Dry clean only. Keep it in a separate bag in a dry place, change the folds regularly and air it in dry weather, drying in shade if it is ever damp. Bright yellow shows marks easily, so keep perfume and deodorant off the fabric.
