What is cotton silk like to drape?
A cotton silk blend has more body and a drier handle than a slippery satin, which makes it considerably easier to pleat and to keep in place. If you struggle with a saree that slides off the shoulder through an event, this is the more forgiving kind of cloth.
What size is this saree?
The saree measures 5.5 metre in length and 44 inches in width, which are the standard dimensions for a conventional drape. The blouse piece supplied with it is 0.80 metre. Those measurements cover the usual pleat and pallu styles without needing any extra fabric.
What does embellished printed mean?
It means the design is printed onto the cloth first and then given added surface detail on top. The result has both colour and texture, rather than the entirely flat finish a plain printed saree gives. You can feel the difference by running a hand across the pattern.
Can I wash this saree at home?
No, the listing specifies dry clean only. A printed and embellished cotton silk does not respond well to water and agitation: the print can bleed across a multicolour design and the applied detailing can lift. Take it to a dry cleaner instead.
What is included in the pack?
One saree and one blouse piece, as recorded in the package details. The blouse piece measures 0.80 metre and is in the same multicolour as the saree, so it needs a tailor before the first wear rather than arriving ready to put on.
