Silkmark Muga Tussar Silk Embroidered Peach Saree

Is the peach closer to coral or to pink?

Closer to coral: a soft coral-peach with cream fern-leaf motifs placed across the body, a narrow gold edge, and a pallu of wide gold stripes finished with tassels. The warm colour and gold work together make it polished for evening events while staying soft for daytime.

Which blouse colour suits it?

A gold or ivory blouse keeps it elegant; teal makes a bolder contrast. The attached pallu-colour blouse is a safe choice. Gold or pearl jewellery suits the peach, and a simple blouse cut keeps the scattered leaf motifs in focus.

Is the blouse running or contrast?

The blouse piece comes attached and is in the pallu colour, so it ties in with the pallu once you drape. Have your tailor cut it off before draping. If you prefer a contrast, the softly patterned body pairs easily with a separate blouse.

What is muga silk?

Muga silk comes from the cocoons of the Antheraea assamensis silkworm, found mainly in Assam. It is known for its durability and glossy texture, and in its natural state for a golden colour. This saree is hand-dyed, so the base colour comes from the dye.

Will the colour match the photo exactly?

Closely, but not perfectly. The saree is hand-dyed, and minor irregularities are part of what makes a handcrafted piece unique. Screens also show colour differently, so the coral-peach may look slightly warmer or softer in daylight.

How long is the saree?

About 6.3 to 6.4 metres, which suits a standard nivi drape with full pleats and a comfortable pallu for most heights. The blouse piece is attached, so have it cut off before you drape for the first time.
