Silkmark Ghicha Tussar Expressive Yellow & Green Saree

What does the pallu look like?

The mustard yellow body meets a wide emerald green pallu, banded with gold stripes. Mustard and emerald is a rich, earthy pairing, warm and deep at once, and the gold stripes tie the two together.

What is the texture like up close?

The body shows the slub of Ghicha yarn clearly, small thicker and thinner points through the fabric. On a mustard base this texture catches light softly and gives the plain body a natural, earthy character that suits the wide emerald pallu.

Why does Ghicha look different from other silks?

Ghicha is spun from the short fibres left over in Tussar silk production, so it is slightly coarser and more textured than regular Tussar. Tussar itself comes from wild silkworm cocoons and has a rich texture and natural sheen.

How should I style it?

The attached blouse piece is in the pallu colour, so the blouse ties in with the contrast end and frames the mustard body. Antique gold or temple-style jewellery suits the earthy tones. Green glass bangles are a nice touch for festive wear.

Does it come with a blouse piece?

Yes, a blouse piece in the pallu colour comes attached to the saree. Have it separated and tailored to your fit and preferred neckline, and keep the cut simple so the gold-striped pallu and the mustard body stay the focus.

How long is it?

It is 6.3 to 6.4 metres long, a standard comfortable length that gives full pleats and enough pallu to show the emerald end clearly over the shoulder. It suits a classic Nivi drape with the pallu pinned or left open.
