Nakshi Pure Khadi Cotton Handloom Saree Dark Green

How does the border look against the body?

A wide, shimmery pale green band runs along the edge, a lighter shade from the same family as the deep moss body. The tone-on-tone pairing feels rich but calm, and the shimmer gives just enough lift for a puja or a festive morning.

What is the embroidery motif?

Tiny white flowers with yellow centres, scattered evenly across the body and the pallu. They are small enough that the saree still reads as a solid deep green from a distance, with the flowers showing up close. Tassels finish the ends.

How does the running blouse work?

The blouse fabric comes at the end of the saree, within the total 6.4–6.5 metre length. Cut it off before you first drape the saree and have it stitched in the style you like; sleeveless or elbow sleeves both suit khadi.

How do I iron the embroidered areas?

Iron the saree on the reverse with a warm iron while it is still slightly damp, which is when khadi presses best. Ironing on the reverse protects the embroidery and the shimmer border from flattening or shine marks. A thin cotton cloth on top helps too.

Any tips for draping khadi?

Press the pleats with a warm iron before you start. Starch lightly if you like a crisp drape, or skip it for a softer fall. Pin the pleats at the waist and the pallu at the shoulder, and it stays neat through the day.

What blouse colours go with it?

Pale green or ivory picks up the border for a soft look. For contrast, mustard, rust or a deep pink sit well against moss green. A gold-toned blouse works for festive wear, while the running blouse keeps it simple for work.
