Silkmark Ghicha Tussar Harmonious Yellow & Purple Saree

How does the pallu meet the body?

The yellow body flows into a contrasting pallu that fades in rather than starting at a hard line, and gold stripes run across the pallu. The gradual change is a mark of the hand dyeing, and it gives the end of the saree a soft, glowing transition.

What is the surface texture like?

Ghicha yarn has a visible slub, so the plain body shows small thick and thin points that you can see and feel. Ghicha is slightly coarser than regular Tussar, which gives this saree a nubby, earthy look that suits the simple yellow body.

How should I style it?

The attached blouse piece is in the pallu colour, which links the contrast end back to the yellow body. Gold jewellery suits the zari-look stripes. For daytime, a simple round neck and elbow sleeves keep it light; for evenings, try a deeper back.

What is the length of the saree?

It is 6.3 to 6.4 metres long, which is a comfortable length for regular pleats and a full pallu, and it leaves enough room to show off the striped end whether you pin it or leave it open.

Where is this saree from?

It is made at our Bhagalpur hub. The fabric is Silkmark certified Ghicha Tussar silk, and the colours are dyed by hand, so each saree carries small variations from the process.

Does it come with a blouse piece?

Yes. A blouse piece in the pallu colour comes attached to the saree, so you can get it cut to your own measurements and preferred neckline. Separate it from the saree before you visit your tailor, and keep the cut simple so the striped pallu stays the focus.
