Blush Slub Linen Saree Pink & Red Shibori Hand Dyed

What does the shibori pattern look like on the Blush saree?

Streaks of magenta and white run diagonally through a red-coral body, like brushstrokes across the whole drape, pallu included. A thin pale striped edge finishes the border, and tassels hang at the end. The warm reds and pinks sit close together, so the effect is rich rather than loud.

How does it drape with an all-over pattern?

Because the pattern runs across the body and pallu alike, there is no single panel you need to show off, and it looks good however you pleat it. Keep the pleats neat and let the pallu fall open, and the diagonal streaks show across the whole drape.

Will my saree match the photo exactly?

The colours and direction of the streaks will be the same, but the exact placement will differ. Shibori is done entirely by hand, binding and folding the cloth before dyeing, so every saree comes out with its own spread of streaks. Screens can also shift how warm the reds appear.

What blouse would suit it?

A white blouse picks up the streaks and keeps it fresh for daytime. For something warmer, try deep maroon or magenta; for contrast, a teal or bottle green blouse makes the reds glow. The attached blouse piece in the pallu colour is there if you want an exact match.

How do I wash a red tie-dye saree?

Wash it alone, by hand, with a mild detergent; hand-dyed colours are best kept apart from other clothes. Don't leave it soaking or lying damp. Dry it in shade, and keep it away from white clothes while it is wet.
