Ethereal Silk Linen Embroidered Olive Green Saree

What is the embroidery like?

Hot-pink flowers and paisleys on dark green leaf vines run all over the olive-sage body. The pink brings warmth to the earthy base, and the trailing vines keep the design flowing and detailed without looking heavy.

What is the border like?

A narrow gold band edges the saree, and the pallu is finished in stripes that end in tassels. The touches of gold give the earthy olive a festive edge while keeping the overall look light and easy to wear.

Is olive green warm or cool?

Olive leans warm and earthy, and this muted olive-sage is softened further by the hot-pink flowers. It suits antique gold, brass and oxidised jewellery, and the narrow gold band along the border ties in nicely with gold pieces.

What blouse goes with olive?

The attached blouse piece is in the pallu colour. A pink blouse echoes the paisleys, while mustard, rust or maroon also work well with olive. Keep jewellery in antique gold to match the border.

Does the embroidery need special care?

Yes. The saree is dry clean only. Iron on the reverse at low heat so the paisleys are not flattened, and store it folded in a separate bag in a dry place, refolding it now and then.
