Silkmark Ghicha Tussar Exquisite Green Saree

What shade is it?

It is a teal-leaning emerald green with a soft sheen, rich but not loud. Hand-dyeing on ghicha yarn adds fine streaks of tone, so expect slight variation from piece to piece.

How does the ghicha texture look, and what is on the border?

Fine horizontal slubs run across the green body, giving it a natural, handmade surface with streaks of lighter and deeper tone. A narrow gold border runs along both edges and the pallu carries gold stripes across the width, so from close up it reads as texture and from a distance as a soft sheen framed in gold.

What blouse would suit it?

The attached blouse piece is in the pallu colour, so it stays coordinated. For contrast, a hot pink blouse looks bold against this green, and mustard or gold are good festive options. Gold jewellery picks up the bands on the pallu.

Is it pure silk?

Yes. The fabric is Silkmark certified ghicha tussar silk, and the certification confirms genuine silk. The ghicha method spins the leftover short tussar fibres, which gives the cloth its textured, slightly coarse feel rather than any blend.

How long is the saree?

It is 6.3 to 6.4 metres long, including the attached blouse piece. Cut the blouse piece off along the end before tailoring. The rest gives ample length for pleats and a full pallu.
