Lively Banarasi Silk Linen Handloom Red Saree

What is the Lively saree's pallu like?

The red body is framed by a silver-toned brocade border, and the pallu carries a wide band of the same brocade with floral motifs, ending in tassels. Draped open, it shows how the brocade runs from shoulder to hem.

What jewellery suits a clear red?

Gold jewellery is the classic choice: jhumkas, a choker or temple pieces for festive days, and simple gold studs for the office. Red bangles and a red bindi complete a traditional look.

Which events would you wear the Lively saree to?

Workdays first: red with a brocade pallu is bold but office-appropriate. It also suits puja and temple visits, festive family occasions, evening dinners and brunches. Gold jewellery dresses it up for a festival, and simple studs keep it easy for a working day.

Can the blouse piece be tailored to my size?

Yes. It comes as an attached length of fabric, so your tailor can cut it off and stitch it to your exact measurements, sleeve length and neckline. A soft cotton lining makes it more comfortable against the skin, especially for a fitted cut.

Is silk linen breathable?

Yes. Silk linen blends the soft feel and subtle sheen of silk with the natural texture of linen, and the result is soft and breathable. The silk keeps it looking dressed up, while the linen texture gives the red body a relaxed, handwoven character.

It's hand-dyed. Will the colour bleed?

Hand-dyed colour is best kept away from water, which is why the care is dry clean only. If it ever gets damp, dry it in the shade. Avoid spraying perfume directly on it, and keep it away from long sun exposure. Store it in a separate bag in a dry place.
