Blue Poly Silk Designer Saree with Heavy Jacquard Work

Product details

Blue poly silk forms the ground of this designer saree, and heavy jacquard work runs through it. The jacquard is woven on the loom, meaning the design is created by the threads themselves rather than applied to the finished cloth, so there is nothing on the surface that can lift, crack or wear away. Poly silk behaves predictably, which is much of its appeal. Being polyester, it is light, it resists creasing through a long day, and it holds dyed colour at full strength. Its handle is firmer and drier than natural silk, so pleats set once and stay set instead of loosening as you walk. Woven pattern reads differently from printed pattern. Because the motif is built from thread direction, parts of it catch light while others fall into shadow, and that relationship changes as you move. The effect is subtle rather than showy, and it works equally well in daylight and under indoor lighting, unlike sequin work which needs a light source to come alive. Blue is a shade that reads formal without being sombre, which makes this saree an easy choice for an office function, a daytime event or a family gathering where you want to look put together rather than dressed up. Silver-toned jewellery generally sits better against blue than yellow gold, though both work depending on the depth of the shade.
