Classic Pure Cotton Blouse Blue Ikkat Design

What are the standout details on this blouse?

White piping outlines the V neck and edges, and the sleeves are short flared caps. Against the navy base with pale blue chevron streaks, the piping gives a crisp, tailored frame that looks smart even with a plain saree.

How does the chevron pattern look?

Pale blue chevrons are spread over a navy base in a medium scale. Each chevron has the soft, uneven edge that comes from tie-dyeing the yarn before weaving, so the pattern looks handmade rather than printed.

How is Ikkat made?

In Ikkat, the yarn is tied tightly in sections and then dyed. The tied parts stay undyed, and when the threads are woven the pattern appears. Because it is all done by hand, the motifs shift slightly from piece to piece. This blouse comes from our Bhagalpur hub.

What size should I order?

It comes stitched in sizes 34 to 46. Choose the size closest to your bust measurement, since that is what the sizes are based on. If you fall between two, the larger size is usually more comfortable, and the length can be customised.

How do I look after it?

Hand wash it gently in a mild detergent and wash it separately from other clothes, as dyed yarn can release a little colour. Dry it in the shade so both the navy base and the white piping hold their colour.

Which sarees work with it?

Navy and white is an easy base. Try it with a white, red, yellow or orange cotton saree, or a grey handloom with a blue border. It also works with indigo prints for a tonal look, and with a skirt.
