Surreal Bansbara Tussar Silk Handloom Green Saree

What makes the olive shade interesting?

The olive ground carries fine, darker slub lines that give it an earthy, woven depth. It is a muted green that looks sophisticated rather than bright, and the texture keeps a solid colour from looking flat when the saree is pleated and draped.

Is there a border?

A pale green edge runs along the saree, a fine, quiet line that lifts the olive body. There is no heavy border, so the drape stays light and modern, and the tassels at the pallu end give it a soft finish.

How can I style the blouse?

Olive is very forgiving. A mustard, rust or maroon blouse makes it warm and festive, while a cream or pale green blouse keeps it fresh for the office. Printed Ajrakh or block-print blouses also look natural against this earthy colour.

Do I need a special petticoat?

A cotton petticoat in olive or a close green shade is ideal. A matching petticoat keeps the colour looking even and gives the pleats a cleaner line. Satin petticoats can make the drape slip, so cotton is the better choice.

What comes in the package?

You get the saree with its blouse piece attached, about 6.3 to 6.4 metres in total including the blouse. Your tailor can cut the blouse portion off and stitch it to your fit and preferred neckline.

What care does it need?

Dry cleaning is preferred. You can also handwash it gently with a mild detergent, washed separately since the colour is hand-dyed, and dried in the shade. Store it folded in a cotton cloth, away from damp, and refold it now and then.
