Lively Maheshwari Pure Tissue Silk Saree Brown

What shade of brown is it?

It is a warm terracotta brown with a peach undertone and a soft copper glow from the tissue, so it reads light and warm rather than dark. Touches of gold in the shimmer give it a gentle, burnished finish.

What jewellery suits copper-brown?

Gold and antique gold suit it best, and temple jewellery looks especially good with the warm metallic. For a blouse in contrast, teal or bottle green sets off the copper tones well.

Is it pure silk?

It is handloom Maheshwari cotton silk, woven as tissue. Maheshwari tissue is lightweight and a little sheer, with a subtle sheen that resembles tissue paper, so the copper glow comes without much weight. That makes it easy to wear through a long evening function.

How long is it, and is there a blouse?

The saree is 6.3 to 6.4 metres long, and a blouse piece comes attached in the pallu colour, ready for your tailor to cut away and stitch. A gold or teal blouse also works if you want contrast.

How do I get creases out?

Steam it gently or use a low iron setting; high heat can mark the metallic weave. It is dry clean only, and changing the folds during storage helps prevent sharp creases.
