Silkmark Pure Tussar Vivid Embroidered Blue Saree

Is the white embroidery subtle or striking?

Striking but not heavy. The small white sprigs are scattered across a bright cerulean body, so each one shows crisply, and the hem finishes with white tassels. It reads fresh in daylight as well as at evening events.

Which jewellery suits it?

Silver and oxidised jewellery suit the white motifs and cool blue. A chunky silver necklace and jhumkas look striking for festive days; small studs are enough for office parties. A white or silver potli finishes it.

Where can I wear it?

Festive occasions come first: Silkmark tussar with embroidery feels celebratory. It also suits office parties, dinners, kitty lunches and brunches, and dressier days at the office. The crisp white motifs keep it fresh for daytime events.

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.

Will the colour match the photo exactly?

Closely, but not perfectly. The saree is hand-dyed and handcrafted, so minor irregularities are part of what makes each piece unique, and screens show colour differently, so the hue may vary slightly from the photo. The look stays a bright blue scattered with small white sprigs.

What blouse styles suit it?

A plain blouse lets the scattered embroidery stay the focus. A boat neck or a round neck with elbow sleeves works for office parties; a deeper back with tassels or a little zari suits festive evenings. Embroidered blouses can look busy with buttis, so keep it simple.
