Gorgeous Pure Tissue Linen Handdyed Saree Yellow

What sets the pallu apart?

The pale butter-yellow body flows into a wide cream-white pallu panel, giving a soft two-tone look. A narrow gold edge runs along the borders. The pastel pairing is gentle and fresh, and the cream pallu brightens your face when draped over the shoulder.

Will I need an inner layer?

Yes, this piece is on the sheer side. A pale yellow or skin-tone petticoat, fitted smoothly at the hip, gives the best result. Avoid white, which can look patchy under butter yellow.

What colour will the blouse fabric be?

The blouse fabric is in the pallu colour, so it follows the cream-white panel. It comes attached to the saree and your tailor separates it. A cream blouse keeps the pastel look soft and cohesive.

How does it fall when draped?

It drapes lightly and softly, with an airy pallu that floats rather than sits stiffly. A couple of pins at the shoulder and pleats keep it in place if you are out for long.

Can I hand wash it?

Dry cleaning is preferred to keep the pastel shades bright. For home care, hand wash gently in mild detergent, wash it separately as it is hand dyed, and dry in the shade, away from direct sun.

What jewellery goes with it?

Light jewellery suits it best. Pearls, a thin gold chain or small gold jhumkas match the delicate pastel feel. A pair of statement earrings with a bare neckline looks fresh for daytime events.
