Quaint Embroidered Organza Pure Silk Sea Green Saree

What makes the Quaint saree stand out?

Its sea green organza, with a teal depth, is scattered with large white leaf and flower clusters. Because the motifs are placed rather than all-over, plenty of the sheer green shows through between them, and tassels finish the edges. The white on green feels fresh and cool.

What blouse goes with sea green and white?

The attached blouse piece in the pallu colour gives a clean, matched look. For contrast, try white, a soft silver, or a coral or peach blouse for warmth. A boat neck or a simple V-neck suits the airy, light drape.

How does it drape?

Organza silk is light and crisp, with a subtle sheen, so it gives a neat, structured drape and feels airy to wear. Press the pleats before draping and pin them firmly at the waist and shoulder. Let the pallu fall so the white leaf and flower clusters show across it.

Does the colour bleed?

The saree is hand dyed, so it should not be washed at home; dry cleaning protects both the dye and the white embroidery. The shade can also vary slightly from piece to piece and across screens, which is normal for hand dyeing.

How do I store it?

Fold it with the embroidered clusters facing inward, keep it in its own cloth bag in a dry cupboard, and refold it on new lines every so often. Air it occasionally so the organza stays crisp and the white thread stays bright.
