Silkmark Tussar Dazzling Blockprint Beige & Red Saree

What colours appear on this saree?

Beige with bright pink and rust blocks, and a white temple-shaped zigzag edge running along the pink and rust. The beige body is streaked with fine lines, and the pink and rust accents are warm, so the saree feels bright and sunny.

Which blouse suits beige with pink and rust?

A pink blouse picks up the temple border, and a black one gives a graphic look. A rust blouse repeats the warm block of colour. Gold jewellery suits all of them, and the attached blouse piece in the pallu colour gives you a ready match too.

Will I need to buy blouse fabric separately?

No. A blouse piece in the pallu colour is attached to the saree and comes unstitched, in the same tussar silk. Detach it and have it stitched to your fit. You can still choose a different blouse on some days, but the matching piece is there whenever you want it.

What care does tussar silk need?

Keep to a few simple rules: dry clean only, dry it in the shade if it gets damp, and keep it away from strong sunlight. Store it in its own bag in a dry place and refold it along different lines now and then, so creases don't set in one spot.

What is tussar silk?

Tussar, also called Kosa silk, comes from the cocoons of wild silkworms. It is valued for its rich texture, natural sheen and golden colour tones. This saree uses Silkmark certified tussar, so the silk's authenticity and purity are assured.

Why does the fabric feel slightly textured?

It is Ghicha tussar. The yarn is spun from the shorter tussar fibres left over in silk production, which gives a slightly coarser, more textured hand than regular tussar. That texture is part of its character, and the fabric still carries tussar's natural sheen.
