Whispering Petals Blockprint Chanderi Silk Saree Copper Orange

What are the motifs on the body?

Leaf motifs sit inside cream scalloped shapes, in cream and maroon, repeated across a coral ground. The scallops give the print a soft, rounded rhythm, and the maroon adds depth so the coral never looks flat.

Tell me about the border and pallu.

A blue vine border with coral and yellow edge lines runs along the hem, and the pallu opens into a light blue lattice with pink bunches. The cool blue against the warm coral body is what gives this design its character: warm in the pleats, cool at the shoulder.

How do I clean it?

Dry clean only. Between wears, keep it in a separate bag in a dry cupboard, refold it from time to time and give it some dry air. If it ever gets damp, let it dry in the shade, never in harsh sun, so the printed colours stay even.

Is it sheer?

Slightly. Chanderi is a fine, light weave, so a petticoat in coral, peach or a skin tone works best underneath. A matching petticoat keeps the colour even across the pleats and stops anything darker from showing through the cream motifs.

What blouse should I wear with it?

Blue is the natural choice since it repeats the border and pallu. Maroon picks up the leaf motifs for a deeper evening look. For office wear, a cream blouse with three-quarter sleeves keeps it simple and lets the print lead.

Will it feel heavy by the end of the day?

No. It is lightweight Chanderi silk cotton, so it sits easily from a morning at work to a festive evening or a dinner out. The fabric is breathable too, so it stays comfortable through the day without weighing you down.
