Bansbara Tussar Silk Handloom Saree Lily Purple

How is the pallu different from the body?

The body has fine rows of white kantha dashes, and on the pallu the stripes become more pronounced, giving the shoulder a bolder, banded look. The ends carry tassels. On the deep plum base, the white stitching stands out clearly.

Does a gold blouse work with it?

Very well. Gold against plum is a classic rich pairing and makes the saree feel festive and ready for the evening. For a lighter daytime look, switch to white to echo the stitching, or try a pink or mauve blouse for a tonal effect.

Is the blouse piece included?

Yes, it is attached to the saree, which measures 6.3 to 6.4 metres including the blouse fabric. Cut it off before draping and have it stitched to your measurements and preferred neckline.

Will the dye bleed onto the white stitches?

It is hand dyed, so wash it separately and gently with a mild detergent, and dry it in the shade straight away. Avoid soaking. Dry cleaning, the preferred option, is the surest way to keep the white kantha bright against the deep plum.

Which occasions suit it?

It is neat enough for the office with a simple blouse, and the deep plum with a gold blouse takes it to festive days and evening dinners. It also suits kitty parties and brunches, where the white kantha rows keep it looking fresh.
