What makes raw silk different from smooth silk?
The yarn. Raw silk keeps the slubs and irregularities that a polished silk removes, so the surface is textured and matte rather than reflective. It reads substantial and slightly rustic, and it holds colour as a flat, even tone instead of shifting brightness along the folds.
How do teal and mustard work together?
They sit almost opposite each other on the colour wheel, which is what makes the pairing strong. On the matte surface of raw silk the contrast reads deliberate rather than loud, because there is no gloss to add brightness on top of the difference between the two shades.
Which occasions is this saree listed for?
The specification records festival, party, reception, sangeet and wedding. The weight and texture of raw silk suit all of those, particularly an evening event where a drape that holds its own shape looks better than one that follows every movement of the body.
Does raw silk need many pins to stay in place?
Fewer than a light fabric. The weight of the cloth keeps the pleats down and stops the pallu sliding, so a pin at the waist and one at the shoulder generally holds the drape through an evening of standing, sitting and moving between groups of people.
