Shiromani Tissue Linen Golden Yellow Embroidered Saree

How is the floral work laid out?

Pink flower clusters are scattered over a light golden ground with a tissue shimmer, and a wide gold striped border frames the length. The pallu stays plain to balance the busier body. The pink against the golden yellow keeps the Shiromani saree bright and cheerful rather than heavy.

What are the tassels like?

The saree is finished with multicolour tassels in pink, red and gold that pick up the colours of the floral clusters. They add a little swing as you move. Handle them gently when draping, and store the saree so they lie flat and don't tangle.

How easy is it to pleat?

Tissue linen is soft and airy with a light, elegant drape, so it is easy to handle and comfortable in warm weather. A light press before you drape keeps the folds sharp, and a couple of pins at the shoulder hold the pallu in place.

Will the fabric show through?

Tissue linen has a delicate, slightly sheer texture, more visible in a light shade like this. A petticoat matched to the body colour keeps the look even. A cream or pale gold petticoat sits better under it than stark white, which can show through the pleats.

Is a blouse piece included?

Yes, it comes attached to the saree, in the pallu colour, for a tonal look. Since the body carries pink florals, a separately made pink blouse is another option for a contrast look, so the same saree can be worn two quite different ways.

What care does it need?

Dry clean only. Keep it in a separate bag in a dry cupboard, and every so often take it out, air it in dry weather and fold it differently so creases don't wear into the tissue. If it ever gets damp, dry it in the shade.
