Silkmark Ghicha Tussar Silk Black Saree

Where can I wear a black ghicha saree?

Office wear first, as black tussar looks sharp and professional. It also suits temple visits and pujas, dinners and evening events, kitty lunches and brunches, and festive occasions with gold jewellery.

How does the ghicha texture look on black, and what is on the pallu?

The black ground has the textured feel of ghicha tussar, spun from short leftover tussar fibres, with a natural sheen. Broad gold stripe bands repeat across the length, the pallu is striped in gold too, and gold bands finish the hem. It gives a dressed-up look that moves easily from the office to an evening.

Is the blouse piece attached?

Yes. The blouse piece is attached and comes in the pallu colour. The total length of 6.3 to 6.4 metres includes it, so cut it off before tailoring.

What blouse colours go with black?

Black takes bright contrasts beautifully: red, mustard, magenta or emerald. A gold brocade blouse gives a festive look, while a silver one keeps it modern. Keep jewellery bold and simple.

Will the black fade?

The colour is hand-dyed, so protect it from long exposure to sunlight and damp. The saree is dry clean only. Store it in its own bag in a dry place and change the folds regularly.
