Serene Pure Linen Handloom Saree White & Red Embroidered

Where does the red appear on this saree?

The white saree carries red at the pallu and hem, in the style of a dip-dye, so the colour frames the drape. The pallu itself is a plain red contrast, which keeps the look bold and simple.

What is embroidered at the shoulder?

Leaf and bud vines in pink and red are embroidered at the shoulder, linking the white body to the red pallu. A narrow silver band along the border finishes the edge.

What should I wear under the white part?

A white or skin-tone petticoat matched to the white body is the safest choice. It keeps the drape looking clean and even, and lets the red pallu and hem and the pink-red vines at the shoulder stand out.

Which blouse would suit it?

The attached blouse piece is in the pallu colour, which gives a classic white-and-red look. A white blouse keeps it lighter and lets the vines show, while a pink one softens the contrast for daytime wear.

Is it handwoven?

Yes, it is a handloom saree in pure linen from Bhagalpur. Handwoven linen has a natural slub texture and may show small irregularities, which are part of a handmade piece.

How should I clean and store it?

Dry clean only. Keep it in a separate bag, away from darker fabrics, in a dry place, refold it now and then and air it in dry weather. Drying it in the shade, when needed, helps the white stay bright.
