Nirmal Pure Khadi Cotton Handloom Saree Bright Blue

What shade of blue is it?

A clear royal-cobalt blue, bold and clean, with matching blue tassels at the pallu end. It is vivid without any green in it. In daylight the khadi texture keeps the colour soft and matte.

Which blouse goes with cobalt?

Orange, yellow and pink all make cobalt glow. A white blouse gives a crisp, nautical look, and a red blouse dresses it up. Keep the blouse plain if you want the saree colour to lead.

Is the blouse included?

Yes. It comes with a running blouse: the blouse length is woven as part of the 6.4 to 6.5 metre saree, and your tailor cuts it from one end before stitching. Measure with your tailor first so enough length stays for the pleats and pallu.

What petticoat should I wear?

A royal blue cotton petticoat is best. If the shade is hard to match, navy is closer than white or black. Check the petticoat in daylight before stepping out. A cotton petticoat breathes best under khadi.

How do I care for it?

Hand wash gently with a mild detergent, washed separately, and dry it in the shade. Avoid long soaking and wringing. Store it folded in a muslin cloth in a clean, dry place once it is fully dry, away from moisture and direct sunlight.
