Chamak Sequin Pure Tissue Cotton Saree Light Pink

Is this a baby pink?

It is softer and cooler than that, more an orchid pink with a lilac lean and a silvery sheen. Bright pink tassels add a pop of colour, and a scattering of small sequins catches the light. It looks delicate and fresh, especially in daylight.

Where would it suit?

It comes alive at a sangeet or cocktail evening, where the silvery sheen picks up the lights, and it is soft enough for a kitty party or brunch. It also works for summer occasions and festive gatherings when you want a lighter pastel.

What blouse goes with a pastel like this?

Silver or a soft metallic blouse keeps it airy. Hot pink, picking up the tassels, adds a bolder edge. A deep wine or plum blouse gives a graceful contrast. Or tailor the running blouse that comes with the saree for a soft, all-over look.

Will a light colour show what is underneath?

Tissue cotton is light and airy, so it helps to wear a petticoat in a matching pale pink or skin tone. That keeps the pastel clean and lets the silvery sheen show evenly across the drape.

How do I keep the shimmer looking fresh?

Hand wash gently with a mild detergent, separately, and dry it in the shade. Store it folded in a soft cotton bag so the sequins do not catch on other clothes. Light handling keeps the metallic threads from dulling.
