Madhubani Silkmark Gicha Tussar Silk Radiant Yellow Saree

How is the pallu painted?

It is densely covered with Madhubani folk motifs in black and cream, picked out with red and orange, so there is very little empty space. That makes it intricate and rich up close, and it stands out strongly against the plain mustard body with its few small red motifs.

How bright is the yellow?

It is a warm mustard-yellow, bright but earthy, with the textured slub of Ghicha tussar. The black-and-cream painted pallu and the narrow cream, red and black border give it a lovely contrast, so the saree looks lively without being loud, even in daylight.

Would it work for a daytime celebration?

Yes. It is made for festive days, and also suits a puja or temple visit, office parties, kitty parties and brunches, and the office. The cheerful mustard base looks especially good at daytime functions.

What blouse colour suits it?

A black blouse picks up the painted pallu; red or maroon gives a traditional festive look and echoes the small red motifs. The attached blouse piece is in the pallu colour and comes unstitched, so your tailor can cut it in the neckline you like.

How should I clean it?

Dry clean only. Store it in a separate bag, change the folds regularly so the dense painting doesn't crease in one place, and air it in non-humid weather. Keep it away from direct sun.
