Nargis Ki Roshini Katan Silk Blockprint Sky Blue Saree

What is the print like on this saree?

Soft and tone-on-tone. Pale paisleys and rosettes are hand block printed over the body, so the pattern shows gently rather than in bold contrast. The border carries a pale scroll motif with a thin gold-toned edge, and the pallu ends in tassels.

How visible is the print from a distance?

It shows best up close and in natural light, where the pale paisleys and rosettes stand out against the light base. From across a room the saree reads as a soft, almost solid shade with a delicate gold edge, which suits work and daytime well.

Which blouse colours suit this soft aqua-blue shade?

Gold or ivory keeps it soft and graceful. Navy, deep teal or wine gives contrast and frames the light shade. A silver or grey blouse works nicely for an evening look.

Is there a blouse piece included?

Yes, an 80 cm blouse piece comes with the saree, and the saree itself is 5.4-5.5 metres long. Give your tailor the blouse length when choosing sleeves and back style, so the design fits the fabric.

How do I wash this saree?

Hand wash it gently with a mild detergent, separately from other clothes, and dry it in the shade. Keep the soft aqua out of direct sun while drying, and iron on a low silk setting so the tasselled pallu and gold-toned edge stay neat.

How does the tasselled pallu wear?

The tassels finish the pallu end neatly and move as you walk. Let it fall loose for a relaxed brunch look, or pleat and pin it for the office so it stays tidy through the day.
