Nargis Ki Roshini Katan Silk Blockprint Orange Saree

What is the print on this saree?

Cream paisley buti is hand block printed all over the body, and the border carries a row of larger paisleys framed by zigzag bands. A thin gold-toned edge finishes it. Since the pallu continues the body pattern, the saree looks evenly printed from end to end.

Where can I wear the Nargis Ki Roshini saree?

Festive occasions first: the bright orange and the gold edge feel celebratory. It also works for office wear with a simple blouse, for an evening dinner with heavier jewellery, and for kitty parties or brunch.

Does it come with a blouse piece?

Yes. It comes with an 80 cm blouse piece, and the saree itself measures 5.4-5.5 metres. Share the blouse length with your tailor when deciding on sleeve length and back design, so the cut fits the fabric you have.

What blouse colours go with it?

Cream or gold echoes the paisleys and the edge for a classic look. A deep maroon, bottle green or navy blouse gives strong contrast and makes the orange glow more. For the office, a plain cream blouse keeps it simple.

How do I wash it so the print stays fresh?

Wash it on its own to be safe. Hand wash gently with a mild detergent and dry it in the shade. Avoid soaking it, and never leave it folded while wet. Press the water out softly instead of wringing, so the cream paisleys and the gold-toned edge stay neat.

How does Katan silk drape?

Katan silk is a soft, lustrous fabric woven from pure silk threads, and this saree has a gentle sheen that shows at the pleats and pallu. For a long day, pin the pleats at the waist and the pallu at the shoulder to keep everything in place.
