Artistic Eri Tussar Silk Embroidered Yellow Saree

What does this yellow saree look like?

It is a bright lime-yellow, with sprays of rust-orange flowers placed across the body. The warm rust flowers sit richly on the zesty ground, and the pallu turns to soft tonal stripes, giving a bright, festive look without feeling heavy.

Is the pallu tonal?

Yes. The pallu is softly striped in tonal yellows, so it stays in the yellow family while the rust-orange flower sprays on the body carry the colour contrast. The attached blouse piece is in the pallu colour, which keeps the blouse calm.

Is the yellow more lemon or mustard?

It leans towards lime or chartreuse, a fresh greenish yellow rather than a warm mustard or pure lemon. It is bright and cheerful, and looks especially lively in daylight against the rust flowers.

Which blouse suits lime yellow and rust?

A rust or maroon blouse picks up the flowers and looks rich. A bottle green blouse makes a classic contrast, and gold is the festive option. Antique gold jewellery suits the warm rust flower sprays on the lime-yellow ground.

What is eri silk?

Eri silk is a natural silk from the eri silkworm, harvested after the moth emerges from the cocoon, so it is known as ahimsa or peace silk. It feels soft with a natural warmth.

How should I store it?

Keep it in a separate cloth bag in a dry place, change the folds now and then, and air it in dry weather. Dry clean only, and keep it away from direct sun so the lime yellow stays fresh.
