Whimsical Handwoven Pure Linen Black Saree

What is the design of the Whimsical saree?

A black body meets a wide emerald-green border and a large green panel at the pallu. It is a two-colour saree with nothing else to distract, so the emerald really glows against the black. Tassels finish the end.

Is the black body see-through?

It has a light, slightly sheer weave, which keeps it airy and cool to wear. Pair it with a black petticoat so nothing shows through and the body stays an even, deep black. A light-coloured petticoat would show under the drape.

Which blouse goes best?

The blouse piece is attached and in the pallu colour, so you get the emerald. A black blouse keeps it sleek and lets the border do the talking, while a mustard or gold blouse gives a warmer twist.

How should I iron it?

Iron it on low heat, ideally while the linen is still slightly damp, for a smooth finish. Press the emerald border and pallu panel from the reverse side to keep them even. Hang it up straight after ironing so it stays neat until you drape it.

How do I care for it?

Dry clean preferred. At home, gently handwash with a mild detergent, wash it separately and dry it in the shade. Washing it on its own and keeping it out of direct sun is the best way to look after the deep black and emerald green.
