Roop Baani Pure Chanderi Silk Applique Saree Black

What is the applique pattern?

A grid of crisp cream eight-petal flowers and leaf shapes fills the heavily worked pallu. On the dark ink ground the cream motifs look sharp and graphic, a thin gold-toned edge runs along the border, and gold tassels finish the end of the pallu.

What jewellery goes with it?

Silver or oxidised jewellery suits the graphic cream and dark contrast, while gold picks up the thin gold-toned lines along the border and the tassels for a dressier evening. Pearl studs keep it understated for the office.

Is a blouse piece included?

Yes, the saree comes with a running blouse, meaning the blouse portion is part of the saree length. The total length is 6.3-6.4 metres; have the blouse portion cut off and stitched to your style by your tailor.

Will I need a petticoat?

Yes. Pure Chanderi silk is sheer, so a petticoat in a matching dark shade keeps the drape looking even, especially under bright lights. The sheerness is part of its light, elegant feel and its soft fall.

How do I care for it?

Hand wash gently with a mild detergent, separately from other clothes, and dry in shade. Dark colours keep their depth better when dried away from direct sun, and washing alone protects the cream applique from any dye.
