How do I iron a saree with a zari border?
Press from the reverse side, with a thin cotton cloth between the iron and the border. Direct heat on metallic thread can dull or scorch the coating. Keep the iron moving rather than resting it, and avoid steam directly onto the zari where you can.
What should I do if a zari thread pulls loose?
Snip it flush with a small scissors rather than pulling it. Pulling drags more thread out of the woven line and leaves a visible gap along the border. Cut cleanly at the surface and the break is usually invisible once the saree is draped.
Why is this chiffon cheaper than the others?
The listing price differs across the chiffon designs in this range, and this is the lowest of them. The product data does not record what accounts for the difference, whether print complexity, border width or fabric quality, so we cannot tell you what changes. Ask us and we will check.
Does zari tarnish over time?
Real silver or gold zari tarnishes; modern metallised polyester zari does not, which is one reason it has largely replaced metal thread. The source data does not say which type is used on this saree, so we cannot confirm it either way for this particular design.
