Silkmark Certified Glossy Pure Tussar Cutwork Blue Saree

What does this saree look like?

It is a deep denim-blue tussar with salmon-pink lotus motifs along the border and lower length, set off by a lattice cutwork border with a scalloped edge. Salmon on blue feels lively and warm, and the natural sheen of the tussar keeps it polished.

Is it a good choice for a festive evening?

Yes. It suits festive evenings and dinners, and the blue keeps it versatile for office parties, kitty lunches and the office too. A coral blouse and light gold jewellery make it feel dressed up after dark.

What blouse comes with it?

The blouse piece is attached and comes in the pallu colour, within a total length of 6.3-6.4 metres. A coral blouse picks up the lotuses; a navy blouse keeps it quieter for work. A plain neckline suits the busy border.

How is cutwork done?

By hand. Sections of fabric are cut away along the design and the edges finished, leaving the lattice around the lotuses and the scalloped edge. It is slow work, and small differences between one lotus and the next are part of it.

How should I care for it?

Dry clean only. Keep it in its own bag in a dry place, refold it regularly and air it in dry conditions. Fold the cutwork border loosely so the open areas are not crushed or creased sharply.
