Nirmal Pure Khadi Cotton Handloom Peach & White Saree

How are the stripes laid out?

Broad stripes of coral peach and white run along the length of the saree, right to the edge with no separate border. The pallu turns to muted mauve-grey stripes, and soft pink tassels line its edge, adding a playful finish to the clean, striped look.

What blouse would you pair with peach and white?

A peach or soft pink blouse keeps the look gentle. Grey picks up the stripes near the pallu for a cooler feel, and a white blouse makes the whole outfit look fresh and summery.

How long is it, and is there a blouse?

It measures 6.4 to 6.5 metres and includes a running blouse, which your tailor cuts from one end. That still leaves enough length for full pleats and a pallu that shows off the stripes.

Will broad stripes make me look wider?

How you drape matters more than the stripes. Pleating the stripes so they fall vertically down the front gives a longer line, and letting the broad bands sit across the pallu keeps the boldest part over the shoulder.

How do I wash it?

Hand wash it gently with a mild detergent, separately from other clothes, and dry it in the shade. Washing it alone keeps the white stripes clean beside the peach and grey.
