Dreamy Banarasi Pure Silk Linen Saree Dusty Pink

How heavy is the pallu?

Not heavy at all. The dusty pink body carries small orange-gold diamond butis all over, with narrow stripe bands, and the pallu continues in stripes of the same zari work. The saree has a light look overall, so it sparkles gently in the light without feeling weighed down.

What blouse goes with dusty rose and gold butis?

The attached blouse piece can be tailored to your fit. A gold blouse picks up the butis for evenings. For contrast, deep green, navy or maroon look lovely against dusty pink, and pearl or gold jewellery suits it.

How can I tell handloom from power loom?

Turn the brocade over. On a handwoven piece the reverse shows the extra threads that build each motif, with small variations in tension and spacing. The repeats are close but not mechanically perfect, and the edges may be slightly uneven. A power-loom saree looks uniformly regular throughout.

How does silk linen feel?

Silk linen blends the luxurious feel of silk with the natural texture of linen. The result is soft and breathable, with a subtle sheen from the silk and the characteristic texture of linen. With orange-gold butis on a dusty pink ground, it suits a festive puja as easily as a working day.

Will storing it folded damage the brocade?

Not if you change the folds now and then. Brocade can wear along a crease that stays pressed for too long, so refold it along fresh lines every few months, store it in a breathable bag in a dry place, and air it in the shade occasionally.
