Adorable Eri Tussar Silk Embroidered Cream Saree

What motifs are on this saree?

Small turquoise arrow-leaf motifs are embroidered in neat vertical rows on thin stems across the cream body. The turquoise on cream is crisp and cool, and the orderly rows give it a modern, graphic feel.

What does the pallu look like?

The pallu is banded with broad stripes of muted gold and a soft taupe. The muted gold keeps it elegant and lets the turquoise motifs on the body remain the accent, while the cream ground keeps the whole saree light.

Which blouse would suit cream and turquoise?

A turquoise blouse picks up the motifs and looks fresh. A gold blouse is festive, and a navy blouse gives a smart, office-ready look. Silver or pearl jewellery suits the cool blue.

What should I wear under a cream silk?

A cream or skin-tone petticoat is best, as a coloured petticoat can show through pale silk in bright light. Choose a smooth, well-fitted one so the pleats fall cleanly and no line shows through.

Is the saree real silk?

Yes, it carries the Silkmark, the Silk Mark Organisation of India's label for genuine natural silk. The fabric is eri silk, also known as ahimsa or peace silk, with a soft hand and natural warmth.

How should I care for it?

Dry clean only. Store it wrapped in a cotton cloth in a dry place, change the folds now and then, and keep it away from damp and direct sunlight, which can yellow pale silk.
