Neerav Pure Linen Zari Border Saree Blue

What shade is the blue?

It is a bright sky or turquoise blue, light and cheerful. The slim zari border and wide anchal sit against it in a muted gold that looks almost silvery in places, so the effect is fresh rather than heavy.

How is the pallu finished?

The pallu carries a broad grey-gold zari panel against the bright turquoise, and the saree finishes in tassels at the end. With the narrow mustard zari border along the edges, it gives the plain body a dressy, finished end when draped.

Where can I wear this saree?

Festive days come first, where the zari anchal adds a dressy touch. It also suits a temple visit or puja, dinners and evenings, kitty lunches or brunches, and the office with a plain blouse.

Which blouse would you pair?

A gold blouse matches the anchal and border. White keeps it fresh and summery, and a coral or yellow blouse makes a bright contrast. Silver jewellery suits the cool blue.

Is the blouse piece included?

Yes, a running blouse is included, and the saree measures 6.4 to 6.5 metres overall. Separate the blouse portion before stitching, and ask your tailor to finish the seams neatly so it suits the handloom linen.

How do I wash it?

Hand wash gently with a mild detergent, separately from other clothes. Dry it in the shade, as bright blue can fade in strong sun. Iron while slightly damp, and avoid pressing hard over the zari band.
