Silkmark Tussar Bold Madhubani Yellow & Beige Saree

What is on the pallu?

The beige pallu is printed with rows of motifs and small figures in grey, black and pink. The body is mustard with sparse small butis, and wide mustard borders finish it. The grey tones make it more muted than the yellow body suggests.

How do I keep the mustard looking bright?

Care is what keeps it looking good. Dry and air it in the shade and store it away from windows, since strong sun is hard on dyed and printed silk. It is dry clean only; keep it in its own bag in a dry place and change the folds regularly.

Can I wear this saree for festivals and the office?

Yes. Festivals come first: mustard with butis and a muted figure pallu suits festive events. It also works for office parties, kitty lunches and brunches, and temple visits or pujas, and its muted pallu makes it office-friendly.

Can I get the blouse stitched from the fabric provided?

Yes. The attached blouse piece comes in the pallu colour, ready for your tailor to cut and stitch. Tussar has a rich texture, so a simple, well-cut neckline shows it off; ask for a soft lining so the inside sits comfortably against the skin.

Why might the motif repeat look slightly uneven?

Because each block is placed by hand and by eye. Over a long length of silk, a repeat can sit a hair closer or farther than the one beside it, or a block can print a touch lighter. That slight variation is the mark of a hand block print and makes each saree a little different.
