Ret Ki Chhaya Ajrakh Printed Chanderi Silk Saree Crimson Red

What stands out on the pallu?

A band of feather motifs on a black ground crosses the pallu, a dark, graphic break against the crimson body. Drape it open and that band sits across the shoulder, adding weight and drama to an otherwise warm, bright saree.

What is the border like?

Instead of matching the body, the border is blue with a fine gold line, so a cool edge frames a warm saree. With the cream jaal of circles and flowers filling the body, the colour mix feels lively and traditional at the same time.

Does it come with a blouse?

Yes. A blouse piece is attached to the saree, within the total length of 6.3 to 6.4 metres. Your tailor cuts it away and stitches it to your measurements, so you have the blouse fabric with you from the start.

Will it be see-through?

Chanderi is lightweight with a slight natural sheerness. The close jaal print on this one covers well, but for neat pleats a fitted red or maroon petticoat is the safest choice. A light, contrasting petticoat can show through where the fabric is single-layered.

How do I care for it?

Dry clean only. Don't soak or hand wash it at home. Store it separately in its own bag in a dry place, change the folds now and then and let it air in dry weather. If it ever gets wet, dry it in the shade.

How can I style it?

A black blouse ties in with the pallu band and makes the look sharper; a blue one picks up the border for a more playful contrast. Silver or oxidised jewellery suits the Ajrakh mood, while gold leans more festive. Keep the blouse plain so the jaal stays the focus.
