Mesmerizing Chanderi Silk Blue Saree

How is the Mesmerizing Blue different from the other blues?

It is a deeper royal blue than the bright cerulean of Stimulating Blue, with a chevron border woven in a lighter tone. It reads a little more formal and evening-ready.

Which blouse colour works with royal blue?

Gold, silver, white or a soft pink blouse all pair well with royal blue. The attached pallu-colour blouse keeps it classic. Gold jewellery makes it festive; silver keeps it cool.

What occasions suit it?

Evening dinners first, where the royal blue chanderi looks composed and graceful. It also works for the office, and for festive gatherings with gold jewellery. The plain body keeps it versatile from desk to dinner, and it suits a kitty lunch or brunch too.

What does Silkmark certification mean?

Silk Mark is a certification from the Silk Mark Organisation of India that guarantees the fabric is genuine silk. On this chanderi saree it assures you of the authenticity and purity of the silk, which matters when many chanderi-look sarees on the market are synthetic blends.

How long is the saree?

About 6.3 to 6.4 metres, which suits a standard nivi drape for most heights with full pleats and a comfortable pallu. The blouse piece is attached to the saree, so ask your tailor to cut it off before you drape.

How should I care for it?

Dry clean only. Keep it in its own bag in a dry place, change the folds now and then and air it in non-moist air regularly; dry in the shade. Chanderi creases easily along old folds, so refolding keeps the silk from weakening at the creases.
