Sleek Pure Cotton Blouse Gray Ikkat Design

What does the zigzag pattern look like on it?

Bold white zigzag bands run vertically down a mid-grey base. They are medium in scale, so the pattern is clearly visible from across a room. The edges of each band are soft and slightly broken, which is the signature of yarn dyed in tied sections before weaving.

How much coverage does it give?

It has a round neck and half sleeves, so it gives good coverage. That makes it an easy choice if you prefer a higher neckline and covered upper arms, while the bold white zigzags keep it from looking plain.

What exactly is Ikkat?

Ikkat, or ikat, comes from a word meaning "to bind". Bundles of yarn are tied tightly in places and then dyed, so the tied parts resist the colour. The yarn is then woven, and the pattern appears in the cloth with its typical blurred outline. This blouse comes from our Bhagalpur hub.

Is it comfortable for wearing all day?

It is made of soft cotton, designed for comfort as much as style, with a light, matte feel. The half sleeves give coverage without adding bulk, so it sits easily under a saree through a long day.

Can I get it longer?

The standard length is 15 to 16 inches, and it is customisable. A slightly longer blouse sits neatly with high-waisted skirts, while the standard length suits a regular saree drape where you want the pleats to show.

How should it be washed?

Hand wash it gently with a mild detergent, separately from other clothes, as hand-dyed yarn can bleed a little. Dry it in the shade. The white zigzags stay brighter if the blouse is not left in direct sun for long.
