Embroidered Bansbara Tussar Silk Handloom Saree Sky Blue

What is special about the pallu?

The pallu breaks into wide stripes of bright blue, finished with tassels, which is a lively contrast to the muted grey-blue body. A plain bright-blue edge runs along the length too, so the colour pops at the hem and on the shoulder while the body stays calm.

How do the face motifs look on this colourway?

Here the face-like medallions are worked in black and white, so they stand out crisply on the grey-blue base. They are scattered across the body with space between them, and they stop where the striped pallu begins, which gives the drape a clear structure.

Is it a light saree?

Yes, it looks light and easy. It is a handloom piece with a soft slub texture, and the embroidery is in spaced motifs rather than heavy panels, so the body stays uncluttered while the striped pallu carries the colour. It suits a day at the office or a relaxed lunch.

Will the bright blue bleed into the grey?

The saree is hand dyed, so wash it separately and gently with a mild detergent, and dry it in the shade without leaving it bundled while wet. That keeps the bright blue stripes from marking the lighter body. Dry cleaning is the preferred and safest route.

What blouse goes with it?

Match the bright blue of the pallu for a clean, coordinated look, or go with black to tie into the motifs. A navy blouse is a quieter middle path. Silver or oxidised jewellery suits the cool tones of this saree better than heavy yellow gold.
