What length and width can I expect in your sarees?

Does this saree come with a blouse piece?

How should I store my saree when not wearing it?
Fold it along the length and wrap in a soft muslin cloth. Store flat in a dry cupboard. Refold every few months to avoid crease marks on the fabric.
Is the fall and pico already done?
Fall and pico (stitched border) are not done unless the listing specifically says so. Most sarees ship unstitched. Many local tailors offer fall and pico service at a nominal cost.
What is Kashida embroidery?
Kashida is a hook-needle embroidery from Kashmir. The artisan uses an aari (hooked needle) pulled from below the fabric to create chain stitches. Paisley, chinar leaf, and floral motifs are signature patterns.
How long does Kashida embroidery take?
The embroiderer stretches fabric on a frame and works from below using an aari (hooked needle). The hook pulls thread through from the underside, creating a continuous chain stitch on top. Dense filling takes weeks to months.
How can I tell if the embroidery is hand-done?
Hand embroidery has a slightly irregular stitch pattern on the reverse side. Machine embroidery shows perfectly uniform stitches. The texture and depth of hand stitching is visibly different.
Will the threads pull or snag during use?
Handle embroidered areas gently. Avoid rubbing against rough surfaces. If a thread catches, don't pull. push it back gently with a needle. Proper care keeps the embroidery intact for years.
How do I wash embroidered products?
Turn inside out and hand wash in cold water. Do not wring or scrub the embroidered area. Press gently with a towel to remove water. Iron on the reverse side at low heat.
What does Tussar feel like?
Tussar has a smooth, cool-to-touch surface with a natural sheen. It drapes elegantly and feels light against the skin. The texture becomes softer with gentle use over time.
How do I wash Tussar products?
Dry clean is safest for Tussar. If hand washing, use cold water and a mild silk-specific detergent. Never wring. Roll in a towel to absorb moisture, then dry flat in shade.
Is Tussar suitable for summer or winter?
Tussar works across seasons. It feels cool in summer and retains warmth in winter. The natural temperature regulation of silk makes it comfortable year-round in Indian climates.
How durable is Tussar?
With proper care, Tussar products last for years. The fibre is naturally strong. Avoid rough handling, direct sun, and chemical detergents. Gentle care keeps it looking fresh long-term.
Why is Tussar priced higher than cotton?
Silk production is labour-intensive. from rearing silkworms to reeling the thread. Tussar involves additional regional techniques that add time and skill. The price reflects the material and the maker's effort.
