Silkmark Certified Idyllic Pure Tussar Cutwork Beige Saree

What does this saree look like?

It is a pale cream-grey tussar with small navy-blue lotus motifs placed across it, and a beige lattice cutwork border finished with a scalloped edge. The blue on the pale ground feels cool and fresh.

What is the blouse?

The blouse piece is attached and comes in the pallu colour, and the saree is 6.3 to 6.4 metres long. A blue blouse picks up the lotuses, while ivory keeps the whole look soft. Keep the neckline plain so the lotus motifs and cutwork border stay the focus.

Is it genuine silk?

Yes. It is Silkmark certified pure Tussar silk, confirmed as genuine by the Silk Mark Organisation of India. Tussar comes from wild silkworm cocoons and has a soft, slightly textured sheen, which is what gives the pale beige its gentle glow.

What jewellery suits it?

Silver or pearl jewellery suits the cool blue motifs and pale ground. For a festive look, add a pair of statement silver jhumkas. Keep bangles light so they do not catch on the cutwork.

Will the petticoat show through the cutwork?

The lattice cutwork is open, so a pale petticoat in beige or skin tone is best; a dark petticoat would show through the border as patches. A smooth, well-fitted petticoat also helps the pleats fall neatly along the scalloped edge.

How should I care for it?

Dry clean only. Keep it in its own bag in a dry place, refold it regularly and air it in dry conditions. Pale silk shows marks easily, so handle it with care.
