Idyllic Maheshwari Pure Tissue Silk Saree Peach

How does the colour come across?

It is a rose peach with a soft gold sheen, and the folds fall into plum-violet shadows, so the tissue looks two-toned as it moves. Screens vary a little, so the exact shade may look slightly different in person.

What blouse comes with it?

A blouse piece comes attached to the saree, in the pallu colour, and your tailor cuts it off before stitching. The saree itself is 6.3 to 6.4 metres long. A gold blouse also suits it.

Is the fabric sheer?

Slightly. Maheshwari tissue is lightweight and a little sheer, with a subtle sheen, so a petticoat matched to the base shade keeps the colour even and avoids any show-through at the pleats. A nude petticoat is a safe alternative if you do not have a close match.

How should I store it?

Keep it in a separate cloth bag in a dry place. Change the folds regularly so the tissue does not crease permanently, and air it now and then in dry conditions. Dry clean only.

Which jewellery works with it?

Rose gold and soft yellow gold both pick up the gold shimmer, while pearls keep the look gentle for a daytime function. Avoid very heavy pieces, which can overpower the delicate tissue.
