Silkmark Tussar Poised Madhubani Blue & Beige Saree

What is printed on this saree?

The beige body carries large Madhubani-style medallions framing pairs of figures, with a wide teal-blue border along the edge. The pallu switches to a checkerboard of orange and teal blocks. Orange and teal with the folk figures make it bright and lively.

What blouse works with teal and orange?

The attached pallu-coloured blouse keeps it coordinated. An orange blouse picks up the checkerboard blocks, while a teal blouse picks up the border for a cooler look. Gold jewellery suits the warm orange; silver keeps it cool with teal.

Is it suitable for festive events?

Yes, that is where it fits best. The teal and orange pallu and the figure medallions suit festivals and celebrations. It also works for office parties and kitty lunches or brunches, and can be worn to the office with a plain blouse.

Is tussar comfortable for long hours?

Yes. Tussar is a natural silk with a rich texture and gentle slub, so it sits comfortably through a long day at the office or a festive gathering. In warmer weather, a cotton lining in the blouse helps you stay comfortable through a long event.

Is the tussar pure silk?

Yes. The fabric is Silkmark-certified tussar, which means the Silk Mark Organisation of India has verified it as pure silk. Tussar, also called Kosa silk, comes from the cocoons of wild silkworms, which gives it its rich texture and natural sheen.

Will the block-printed colours run?

Water is the risk, which is why the care is dry clean only. Hand block printing lays colour onto the silk, and keeping it dry keeps that colour in place. Keep perfume and sprays off the printed areas, and if it gets damp, dry it flat in the shade and let a silk dry cleaner handle the rest.
