Silkmark Ghicha Tussar Silk Green & Red Saree

What does the pallu look like?

The pallu is wide and in a contrasting colour to the body, banded across with broad gold stripes. Because so much of the design sits at the end, the saree looks clean through the pleats and makes its statement over the shoulder.

How does the body look and feel?

The body is plain, with the visible slub texture of Ghicha yarn running through it. That texture gives it a slightly rugged, earthy character, which sits nicely against the wide gold-striped pallu and keeps the dark body from looking flat.

Which occasions is it suited to?

Office and workwear come first, as the plain body keeps it composed for a working day. It also suits an evening dinner, a temple or puja visit, and festive gatherings when paired with gold jewellery.

What does Silkmark certified mean here?

The fabric is Silkmark certified Ghicha Tussar silk. Silk Mark is the label of the Silk Mark Organisation of India, which certifies that a product is made of genuine silk.

Will Ghicha feel rough on the skin?

Ghicha is slightly coarser than regular Tussar because it is spun from the leftover short fibres, so it has more texture than a smooth silk. That texture is part of its character, and a soft cotton petticoat with a well-fitted blouse keeps the drape easy to wear.

What petticoat should I wear with it?

Match the petticoat to the body colour rather than the pallu. That keeps the drape even through the pleats and lets the contrast pallu stand out on its own, the way the saree is designed.
