Glossy Maheshwari Pure Tissue Silk Saree Golden

What kind of gold is it?

An antique gold with an olive lean, deeper and more muted than a bright yellow gold. It has a soft, glossy shimmer and looks rich without being flashy. It suits warm skin tones beautifully.

Is there a band near the pallu?

Yes, a wide band in a paler gold runs across the fabric near the pallu end, with fine lines along its edges. It gives the drape a finished, festive end against the deeper olive-gold, while the body stays plain.

Which blouse suits antique gold?

The attached blouse is in the pallu colour. For contrast, a deep maroon, bottle green or black blouse looks striking against antique gold, and all three suit temple jewellery. A gold blouse keeps it tonal.

How can I tell it is handloom?

Hand weaving leaves slight variations in the sheen and texture across the saree, which a power loom would not. Hold it up in daylight and the antique gold will shimmer unevenly along the length. Those minor irregularities are the uniqueness of a handcrafted piece, not defects.

How long is it?

The saree measures 6.3 to 6.4 metres, and a blouse piece comes attached in the pallu colour. Your tailor cuts the blouse away before stitching, leaving a full drape with a generous pallu.
