Earthloom Handdyed Khadi Cotton Saree Pink & White

Does the pallu differ from the body on the Earthloom Pink and White?

No, the broad pink and white horizontal stripes run all over, through the body and into the pallu. That makes it easy to drape, as there is no right or wrong side for colour. Red tassels finish the end of the pallu and add a small bright accent.

What do the red tassels add?

They give a bright flick of colour to a soft pink and white saree, so the look does not feel washed out. They also add movement as you walk. Handle them gently while washing and let them dry straight.

What blouse colour goes best?

A red blouse picks up the tassels and makes the saree lively. A pink blouse keeps it soft and sweet. White or cream gives a clean summer look. For something different, try a grey or navy blouse for contrast.

How do I keep the white stripes bright?

Wash it separately in cool water with a mild detergent, and keep it away from darker clothes in the wash. Rinse well, do not soak, and dry it in the shade rather than in strong sun. Handle the red tassels gently so they stay neat.

How do stripes look in a drape?

With horizontal stripes all over, the pleats show crisp layers of pink and white, and the pallu falls in bands across the shoulder. It looks neat and fresh. Keeping the pleats even makes the stripes line up nicely.

How long is the saree?

The saree is 6.4 to 6.5 metres long, a regular full length for a Nivi drape. It also comes with a 1 metre blouse piece, the same as the model is wearing.
