Silkmark Tussar Gorgeous Blockprint Yellow & Blue Saree

Does yellow with blue suit a daytime look?

Very much. The body is a bright lemon yellow with fine stripes, and the cream pallu carries teal and magenta leaf buti with a magenta scroll band. The teal keeps it fresh, so the saree looks sunny and light in daylight.

Which blouse suits yellow and blue?

A blue blouse grounds the look, a yellow one keeps it sunny, and white gives a crisp finish. The print also carries magenta, so a magenta blouse is a bolder option. Gold or silver both work; pick by mood.

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.

Is it high-maintenance?

Not if you follow the basics. Send it for dry cleaning rather than washing it, let it air in the shade after you wear it, and keep it in a separate bag in a dry cupboard. Changing the folds from time to time is the only other habit it asks for.

How can I tell it's a real block print?

Look closely at the repeats. In a hand block print, motifs may sit very slightly off line, and the depth of colour can vary from one stamp to the next. Those small irregularities are exactly what makes a handcrafted piece unique.

Will my saree look exactly as it does online?

Very close, with two caveats. Colours can look slightly different on different screens, and because the print is stamped by hand, small variations between pieces are natural. The design and colourway stay the same; minor details of the print may differ a little.

What comes in the package?

One saree with its blouse piece attached. The saree is 6.3 to 6.4 metres long, and the blouse piece is in the pallu's colour, unstitched and ready for your tailor. Beyond a petticoat and your stitched blouse, you don't need anything else to wear it.
