Rangini Banswara Cotton Silk Saree Golden Yellow

What kind of motifs does it have?

Small flower sprigs in pink and grey are hand-embroidered over the body, with a narrow gold border along the edge. The sprigs are delicate and widely spaced, so the warm base shows plenty, and the pallu finishes in gold stripes with tassels.

Where can I wear it?

Work is where it fits most easily: the fine sprigs and narrow border keep it neat for the office. The warm yellow also makes it a natural choice for a haldi, and it suits summer outings, travel and temple visits just as well.

How long is the saree, and is it enough for a full drape?

The saree measures 5.5 to 5.6 metres, with a separate 80 cm blouse piece on top of that. That is a standard saree length, enough for a regular nivi drape with pleats and a comfortable pallu. Keep the pleats a little narrower if you like a long pallu.

What blouse colours suit it?

Golden yellow is a warm shade, so pink, picking up the sprigs, makes a pretty pair. Grey is a modern, quieter option, and a maroon or deep green blouse gives a traditional contrast. The model's blouse is for styling only; you get an 80 cm blouse piece to stitch as you like.

Can the dye run?

Since it is hand dyed, keep it away from water: this saree is dry clean only. Store it in its own bag in a dry place, change the folds now and then so creases do not set, and air it in dry, non-humid weather.
