Silkmark Pure Tussar Lucid Embroidered Green Saree

What shape are the embroidered flowers?

They are tiny four-petal cross motifs worked in coral and gold thread, scattered evenly across a deep teal body. The warm motifs on the cool teal make a cheerful contrast without making the saree busy, and the plain silk between them lets the sheen of the fabric show.

What blouse colour suits it?

A coral blouse picks up the motifs; a printed or ivory blouse also works. Gold jewellery suits the rich teal and echoes the gold in the embroidery, and the attached pallu-colour blouse keeps it classic.

What does Silkmark certification mean?

Silk Mark is a certification from the Silk Mark Organisation of India that guarantees the fabric is genuine silk. This saree is Silkmark-certified, which assures you of the authenticity and purity of the silk rather than a look-alike blend.

Where is the embroidery on the saree?

The embroidered motifs are scattered as buttis across the body, leaving plenty of plain silk between them. That keeps the saree light and elegant rather than heavy, and lets the silk's sheen show.

How should I care for it?

Dry clean only. Keep it in its own bag in a dry place, change the folds every so often and air it in non-moist air regularly; dry it in the shade. Avoid spraying perfume directly on the embroidery, and store it away from direct sunlight.

What is the silk like?

It is Silkmark-certified pure tussar silk with a soft sheen, which shows nicely between the scattered motifs. The hand-dyed teal gives it a rich depth, and since it is handcrafted, minor irregularities are part of each piece's character rather than flaws.
