Poised Maheshwari Pure Tissue Silk Saree Orange

What shade of orange is it?

A burnt orange with a copper-gold sheen, so it reads as a deep copper-orange with a metallic glow. It looks rich under evening light and warm in daylight, a strong, confident colour for weddings, receptions and festive evenings.

How does it drape?

Maheshwari tissue is lightweight and sheer, with a subtle sheen and a delicate drape. The plain burnt-orange body, with the pallu the same as the body, lets that copper-gold sheen carry the look, so keep the pleats simple and the pallu open to catch the light.

Which blouse colours suit copper-orange?

The attached blouse is in the pallu colour. For contrast, teal, emerald or a deep maroon blouse looks striking against copper-orange, and gold jewellery finishes it. A copper or rust blouse keeps it tonal for a more understated look.

What is the length?

The saree measures 6.3 to 6.4 metres, and the blouse piece comes attached in the pallu colour. Your tailor cuts it off before stitching. That leaves a full drape, with enough length for a generous pallu over the shoulder.

How do I store it?

In a separate cloth bag, in a dry place. Change the folds regularly and air it in dry conditions so the tissue does not crease along fixed lines. Dry clean only.
