Roop Baani Pure Chanderi Silk Applique Saree Calm White

What design does the applique carry?

Delicate cream-gold flowers with eight petals and leaf cut-outs are appliqued onto a soft ivory ground, gathered most heavily on the pallu. The work is tonal, so it reads as soft texture rather than strong contrast, and a thin gold-toned edge frames the length.

What finishes the pallu?

The pallu end is trimmed with olive tassels, which add a little movement and are the one soft accent of colour against the ivory. A thin gold-toned edge runs along the length, so the finish stays light and delicate.

What petticoat should I wear?

Pure Chanderi silk is sheer, and white shows through more than deeper colours. A white or skin-toned petticoat keeps the drape looking clean, and a smooth, well-fitted one avoids lines showing through.

How do I wash a white Chanderi?

Hand wash it gently with mild detergent, on its own, and dry it in shade. Washing it separately keeps the white clear of colour from other clothes, and shade drying keeps the fabric from yellowing.

Is the blouse included?

Yes, it comes with a running blouse, included within the saree's total length of 6.3-6.4 metres. Cut it off and have it stitched, or swap in a contrast blouse if you prefer.
