Silkmark Tussar Textured Blockprint Pink & Blue Saree

What does the Textured saree look like?

A plain magenta pink section with a cream border of temple zigzags and diamonds, set against a section of navy and cream stripes. The pink is bright and the navy is deep, so the stripes give it a strong, graphic contrast, and the tussar shows a soft slub texture throughout.

Which blouse suits magenta with navy stripes?

A navy blouse gives contrast and calms the magenta. A cream blouse picks up the diamond border. Silver jewellery suits the cool navy, while kundan studs bring out the magenta for festive wear. Keep the rest simple so the bold contrast leads.

Is the blouse already stitched?

No. It comes as an unstitched tussar silk blouse piece, attached to the saree and in the pallu colour. That gives your tailor full freedom with the fit and design. Have it detached from the saree before the pattern is cut.

When can I wear the Textured saree?

First and foremost at the office, where a plain colour with a crisp border looks polished. It carries over easily to dinners out and kitty brunches, and the bright pink comes alive at festive gatherings with statement jewellery.

Can I keep it with my other silk sarees?

Yes, but give it its own bag rather than stacking it bare against other sarees. Keep the cupboard dry, and take it out now and then to air and refold it. A separate bag also keeps the printed surface from rubbing against zari or embellished pieces.

Will it feel smooth or textured?

Textured. This is Ghicha tussar, spun from the shorter fibres left over in tussar production, so the surface is slightly coarser than regular tussar. You'll feel a gentle grain in the hand along with the natural sheen, and it suits the earthy look of a hand-stamped print.
