Chitrika Pure Khadi Cotton Handloom Saree Dark Pink

What is the motif on the Chitrika blouse?

A single pink lotus on a tall green stem, painted on a white ground. It is simple and clean, with plenty of white space around the flower, so it suits anyone who prefers a quieter painted blouse.

How does it work with the saree?

The saree is a plain dark pink khadi finished with tassels. The white blouse lightens the look, and the pink of the lotus links it straight back to the saree, so the two never look mismatched.

Where should the lotus be placed on the blouse?

A single upright flower works well running down the centre of the back, or placed on one side of the front. Lay the panel out with your tailor before cutting so the stem is not lost in a seam.

What is in the package?

The saree, 6.4 to 6.5 metres long, with a running blouse, and a hand-painted blouse fabric of 1 metre carrying the lotus. The lotus is the only painted part of the set, so plan the blouse style with your tailor around it.

Will the white blouse stain from the pink saree?

Keep them apart in the wash every time. Hand wash the saree on its own, gently, with a mild detergent, and dry everything in the shade. Washing separately is the simplest way to keep the white ground of the painted blouse clean.
