Goonj Chanderi Silk Crisp Yellow Ajrakh Printed Saree

What is the print on the Goonj saree?

Small flower buti in black and red are scattered over a mustard ground. The black gives the motifs a crisp outline, so even at a small scale they stand out clearly, and the body stays light and easy to wear.

How is the pallu different?

It ends in a plain maroon stretch, a quiet, solid finish after the printed body. The border pairs a maroon selvedge with a cream scroll band and a gold line, which links the mustard body to the maroon pallu.

Where does this saree fit in my wardrobe?

Mainly as office wear: the small buti keep it neat through the week. The mustard and maroon pairing also suits temple visits and pujas, works for festive days with family, and is light-hearted enough for a kitty party or brunch.

Do I need a matching petticoat?

Yes, a petticoat in mustard or a skin tone works best. Chanderi silk cotton is light and slightly sheer, and a lighter ground like this can show a dark petticoat through it, especially in sunlight.

Is the blouse fabric included?

Yes, a blouse piece is attached. It is part of the 6.3 to 6.4 metre length, so your tailor will separate it from the saree before making the blouse. No extra fabric is needed.

How do I keep it folded away?

Fold it and keep it in its own bag in a dry cupboard. Take it out now and then to air it in dry weather, and fold it along new lines so the handloom fabric doesn't crease permanently. Clean it only by dry cleaning.
