Parijat Pure Mul Cotton Off White Saree

What makes the Parijat border distinctive?

The Parijat saree carries a wide striped border in magenta, green and gold on an off-white body. The bands of colour give it a bright edge even though the body is plain, and the fine gold lines catch the light when you move.

How does the pallu finish?

The pallu ends in magenta tassels that match the border. Combined with the plain body, they keep the look light and a little playful, so the saree never feels too formal for a regular day.

Is there a blouse piece with it?

No, it comes as the saree alone, 5.4 to 5.5 metres long, without a blouse piece. The striped border makes pairing easy: a magenta, bottle green or gold blouse from your wardrobe will all tie back to it.

How does it feel through a long day?

Mul cotton is very light and breathable, so it stays comfortable through long hours, even in summer heat. It drapes softly and does not feel stiff. A couple of safety pins at the shoulder and waist help keep the pleats tidy while you go about your day.

How should I wash it?

Handwash it gently with a mild detergent and wash it separately from other clothes. Dry it in shade to protect the magenta and green bands, and iron it while slightly damp for a smooth finish.

What petticoat should I wear with it?

Mul cotton is a light, airy fabric and the body here is a pale off-white, so a skin-tone or off-white cotton petticoat and a lined blouse are a sensible choice. They keep the drape looking neat and comfortable in daylight.
