Silkmark Certified Pure Tussar Cutwork Warm Brown Saree

What colour is this saree?

In the photographs it reads as a soft peach-apricot tussar, with small rose-pink flower clusters scattered across the body and a narrow lattice cutwork border with a scalloped edge. The palette is gentle rather than high-contrast, with touches of cream in the work, and hues may vary slightly between screens.

What is the blouse?

It comes with a separate contrast blouse piece, and the saree itself measures 5.5-5.6 metres. A rose-pink blouse echoes the flowers and gives the strongest look; a cream blouse keeps it soft for daytime. The blouse piece is unstitched, so have it tailored with a plain neckline.

How is the cutwork made?

By hand. The artisan cuts away sections of fabric along the design and finishes the edges, leaving a lace-like lattice border with a scalloped edge. Where the cut-outs open up, a little of the petticoat shows through, so choose one close to the body colour.

Is it genuine silk?

Yes. It is Silkmark certified pure Tussar silk, from wild silkworm cocoons. Tussar has a soft sheen and a slightly uneven texture rather than a flat shine, and both are easy to see on a pale body like this one.

How should I care for it?

Dry clean only. Store it in its own bag in a dry place, change the folds regularly and air it in dry conditions. Pale silk shows marks easily, so handle it with clean hands and keep perfume off the fabric.
