Silkmark Tussar Scintillating Blockprint Red Saree

Is the Scintillating saree plain red?

Not quite. It has a raspberry-red body framed by wide border panels of folk figures, edged in mustard, with cream, brown and black in the print. Red is the main colour, but the figurative borders give the saree a lot of detail.

Which jewellery suits red with a mustard border?

Gold, in any form, echoes the mustard border and suits the red; temple or antique pieces fit the folk-style print. Oxidised silver gives a more contemporary contrast. Keep one statement piece and let the border do the rest.

Will I need to buy blouse fabric separately?

No. A blouse piece in the pallu colour is attached to the saree and comes unstitched, in the same tussar silk. Detach it and have it stitched to your fit. You can still choose a different blouse on some days, but the matching piece is there whenever you want it.

How do I clean it?

Dry clean only. Tussar silk with a hand block print should go to a professional cleaner rather than into a bucket or a machine. If it ever gets damp, dry it in the shade, not in direct sun, and let it air fully before you fold it away.

Will my saree look exactly as it does online?

Very close, with two caveats. Colours can look slightly different on different screens, and because the print is stamped by hand, small variations between pieces are natural. The design and colourway stay the same; minor details of the print may differ a little.

What comes in the package?

One saree with its blouse piece attached. The saree is 6.3 to 6.4 metres long, and the blouse piece is in the pallu's colour, unstitched and ready for your tailor. Beyond a petticoat and your stitched blouse, you don't need anything else to wear it.
