Noor-e-Linen Hand Dyed Coral Red Saree

Which occasions does it suit?

It is a confident office saree first, bright without being loud. The silver bands also make it work for festive days, kitty parties and brunches, and it is simple enough to wear on an ordinary day when you want some colour.

How is the pallu designed?

Broad silver-white bands run across the pallu, matching the silver borders along the length, against a plain coral body. Tassels finish the end. The bands give the drape a clear, modern finish.

How do I keep the coral vivid?

Wash it separately in a mild detergent, by hand and gently, and dry it in the shade rather than strong sun. Gentle handling also keeps the silver borders and pallu bands neat, so the saree looks fresh wear after wear.

How long is the saree, and is there a blouse piece?

The saree is 5.4 to 5.5 metres long, a regular length for a standard drape with front pleats. It comes with an 80 cm blouse piece; discuss elaborate sleeves or backs with your tailor before cutting.

What blouse would suit it?

A silver blouse picks up the pallu bands, while white or ivory keeps it crisp for work. For festive occasions, try a deep teal or navy blouse for contrast, finished with silver jewellery.
