Precious Handloom Jayashree Silk Saree Rose Red

What makes the pallu of the Precious saree stand out?

The pallu is banded in gold and orange-gold, which warms up the bright pink body, and it ends in tassels. A gold zari border runs along the length. The body is plain, so the banded pallu is the main feature, and the orange tones in it make the whole saree look cheerful rather than formal.

Is it a warm or cool pink?

Warm. It has a coral lean, which is why the orange-gold in the pallu sits so comfortably with it, and it flatters warm and wheatish skin tones in particular. As the colour is hand-dyed, the exact shade can vary a little between pieces and may look slightly different on your screen.

Is it suitable for work, or only for occasions?

Both. Its plain body and light look make it easy to wear to the office, especially on days you want a bit of colour. It also works for an evening dinner, festive gatherings and a kitty party or brunch with friends, where the bright pink and gold pallu feel right.

Do I get a blouse piece?

Yes. A blouse piece in the same fabric is attached to the saree and is part of the 6.3 to 6.4 metre length. Separate it before stitching. For contrast, a gold, mint or turquoise blouse looks fresh; a matching pink keeps it simple for the office.

How should I care for it?

Dry cleaning is the preferred option. You can also handwash it gently with a mild detergent, but wash it on its own since the colour is hand-dyed, and dry it in the shade to protect the colour. Store it in a saree bag or tissue, away from direct sunlight.

Why might my saree look slightly different from another one?

Each one is woven on a handloom and dyed by hand, so minor irregularities in the weave, the gold bands or the evenness of the colour are normal. They are a mark of hand work rather than a fault, and they make your saree a little different from every other piece in this design.
