Sunny Slub Linen Saree Yellow & Pink Shibori Hand Dyed

What makes the Sunny saree so bold?

It carries large diagonal bands of sunshine yellow, white and hot pink running across the whole saree, pallu included. The diagonals create movement as you walk, and when draped the bands meet at different angles across the pleats and shoulder, so it looks a little different each time you wear it.

Where would I wear it?

It's made for kitty parties and brunches, where its bright, happy colours fit right in. It also works for office days when you want something cheerful, for summer outings and travel, and for festive get-togethers with a dressier blouse and statement earrings.

How are the diagonal bands made?

That is shibori at work. The fabric is folded, bound or twisted before dyeing, and the bound areas resist the dye, leaving the pattern behind with natural variations in colour and texture. As it is done by hand, the width and angle of the bands vary from piece to piece.

Does it come with a blouse piece?

Yes. A blouse piece in the pallu colour comes attached to the saree; cut it off and have it stitched to your measurements. If you'd prefer a solid blouse, hot pink or white lets the diagonal bands stay the focus.

How should I wash it?

Gentle hand washing with a mild detergent, separately from other clothes, is best for tie-dye. Rinse until the water runs clear, don't wring it, and dry it in shade to keep the yellow and pink vivid.
