Silkmark Ghicha Tussar Effulgent Yellow Saree

How does the bright yellow look in person?

It is a clear, sunny yellow with a soft tussar sheen. The ghicha yarn adds fine horizontal streaks, so the colour has depth and movement rather than looking flat. Screens vary slightly, but expect a cheerful, bright shade.

Why is the texture slightly uneven?

Ghicha yarn is spun from the shorter tussar fibres left over after the long filament is reeled, so it is naturally thicker in some places and thinner in others. Woven up, those irregularities show as fine horizontal slubs across the fabric and give it a slightly coarser hand than regular tussar. They are the mark of genuine ghicha, not a flaw.

What blouse colours suit it?

The saree comes with a 0.80 metre blouse piece. For contrast, maroon, bottle green, royal blue or a deep pink all look good against bright yellow. Gold jewellery works naturally with it.

What does the Silk Mark guarantee?

The Silk Mark, issued under the Silk Mark Organisation of India, certifies that the fabric is genuine silk. This saree is Silkmark certified ghicha tussar, so you can be sure it is real tussar silk rather than a blend or a synthetic. The textured, slubby surface is the ghicha yarn, not a sign of mixed fibre.

How do I look after it?

Dry clean only. Store it in a dry place in its own bag, change the folds regularly, and avoid long exposure to sunlight, which can fade hand-dyed tussar.

Is the blouse piece stitched?

No. The 0.80 metre blouse piece comes unstitched with the 5.4 to 5.5 metre saree, so you can have it made in the style you prefer. A plain saree like this gives you freedom with the blouse design.
