What is a cotton silk mix like to wear?
It takes something from each fibre. Cotton contributes a dry, matte hand and breathability that keeps the cloth comfortable through a warm afternoon, while silk contributes drape and a restrained sheen so the fabric falls properly rather than standing away stiffly as pure cotton would.
Is cotton silk easier to drape than pure silk?
Most people find it so. It is considerably less slippery than pure silk, so the pleats stay where you set them and the pallu grips the shoulder rather than sliding off, while it still has enough fluidity to fall properly instead of standing out like a stiff cotton.
What is included with this saree?
One saree of 5.5 metre in mehendi green and one matching blouse of 0.80 metre, on a fabric width of 44 inches. No stall is included, as the specification records it as without, and wash care for the set is listed as dry clean only.
Where does mehendi green work best?
It is a deep, slightly olive green that suits daytime functions, a puja, a mehendi or a family celebration. The matte surface of a cotton silk mix keeps the shade full and even, and both gold and oxidised silver jewellery sit comfortably against a green of this depth.
Why is dry cleaning specified?
The design is described as embellished, and applied work is the usual reason for a dry-clean instruction: water and machine agitation can loosen it even where the base cloth would survive. A cotton silk mix also keeps its hand and its finish better when it is not home washed.
