Mridini Silkmark Tussar Silk Embroidery Saree Wine

How does wine look on tussar?

Wine is a deep red-purple, and tussar's natural sheen gives it a soft glow so it looks rich rather than dark. It is a mature, elegant shade for festive evenings and dinners, and it suits both warm and cool jewellery.

What blouse pairs with wine?

Gold is the classic partner, and a gold brocade blouse makes it festive. Blush pink or dusty rose give a softer contrast, and the matching blouse piece keeps the look deep and tonal. Antique gold or kundan jewellery suits wine well.

How long is the blouse piece?

The matching blouse piece is 80 cm, which your tailor can work with for most standard blouse designs; your tailor can advise on full sleeves or a very structured cut. The saree itself is about 5.5 to 5.6 metres. The blouse the model wears is for styling only and is not included.

What does Silkmark certified mean here?

It means the saree is made from genuine tussar silk, certified for purity under the Silkmark label of the Silk Mark Organisation of India. You get the real fibre's natural texture, soft sheen and durability, rather than a blend made to look like tussar.

How does it drape?

Tussar has a rich natural texture and a soft sheen, and this saree drapes gracefully. At 5.5 to 5.6 metres it gives a neat drape, with the heavily worked pallu open over the shoulder, where the silver-grey lattice embroidery shows best. Pin the pleats for a long festive day.

How should I care for it?

Dry clean only, to protect both the silk and the embroidery. Keep it in a separate bag in a dry place, change the folds and air it regularly so creases don't set, and if it ever needs drying, do it in the shade. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight for long hours.

Is this saree only for evenings?

No. It suits festivals and festive evenings especially well, and it also carries to office parties, dinners out, kitty lunches and brunches. With a simple blouse it's restrained enough for work, and it is a graceful choice for a temple or puja visit too.
