Mridini Silkmark Tussar Silk Embroidery Saree Dark Green

What contrast works with the dark green?

Dark green takes warm contrast beautifully: magenta, mustard, coral or a rich maroon blouse all bring it alive. The matching blouse piece gives a deep, tonal look that is elegant for evenings. Antique gold or kundan jewellery suits both routes.

Does dark green look good in the evening?

Very. Deep greens read rich under warm indoor light, and the soft sheen of the tussar sets off the coral embroidered border. With gold jewellery and a darker lip it's an easy evening and dinner saree; in daylight it looks calmer and works for the office.

What comes with the saree?

The saree, about 5.5 to 5.6 metres long, and a matching blouse piece of 80 cm. The blouse you see on the model was styled for the photoshoot and isn't part of the package; you receive the blouse fabric to have stitched to your own design and measurements.

Is the silk pure?

Yes. It is Silkmark tussar, which means the silk has been certified authentic and pure under the Silk Mark Organisation of India's label. You get tussar's rich natural texture, a soft sheen and a durable weave, which suit an elegant saree like this one.

How does the Mridini drape?

It has a graceful drape, and the tussar has a rich texture with a soft sheen. The body is plain dark green, so the drape stays clean and lets the wide coral lattice border frame the pleats and pallu. Pin the pleats lightly for a neat look.

How should I care for it?

Dry clean only, to protect both the silk and the embroidery. Keep it in a separate bag in a dry place, change the folds and air it regularly so creases don't set, and if it ever needs drying, do it in the shade. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight for long hours.
