Royal Blue Peacock Dual Shade Maheshwari Silk Cotton Saree

This is a royal blue and peacock blue dual shade Maheshwari silk cotton saree with gold zari butidar motifs woven across the body. Royal blue carries the drape and peacock blue lifts through it as the light moves, which gives the saree more depth than a flat single-tone blue.

Is Maheshwari silk cotton pure silk?

No. Maheshwari silk cotton is a blended weave of silk and cotton, and we label it that way on purpose. The blend gives this saree the soft sheen and fall of silk with the breathability and easy weight of cotton. If you want a pure silk saree, our Tissue Silk and Pure Tussar Silk collections are the right place to start.

When to wear it

Royal blue with gold zari is a formal shade that holds up at a daytime wedding as a guest, at a Grihapravesam or housewarming function, at Diwali, and at a corporate event or anniversary lunch. It is also one of the safest colours to give as a gift saree, because royal blue suits a wide range of ages and skin tones and does not carry the occasion restrictions that red or white sometimes do.

How to style it

Silver and pearl sit beautifully against royal blue — a pearl set for a corporate event, or diamond or silver for a wedding function. Gold temple jewellery also works, because the zari buttas are gold; choose one metal and stay with it rather than mixing. For the blouse, a solid royal blue keeps it tonal, silver or grey picks up the cool tone, and mustard gives a warm contrast. Keep accessories restrained so the zari work stays the focus.

Will this colour suit me?

Royal blue is one of our most widely wearable shades. It looks striking on fair cool-toned skin, it is a standout on deep skin tones, and the peacock blue second shade keeps it from reading flat on medium and dusky warm tones. This is the shade we suggest most often when someone is buying for another person and is unsure.

Care

Dry clean only for the first few washes. Do not machine wash. Air the saree in shade after wearing, fold it before storing, and apply perfume before draping rather than onto the fabric.

Frequently asked questions

Is this saree pure silk?

No. This is a Maheshwari silk cotton saree, a blend of silk and cotton, not pure silk. We label it as a blend on purpose so you know exactly what you are buying.

What is a butidar motif?

A butta is a small woven motif repeated across a saree. Butidar means the buttas are woven throughout the body rather than placed only on the border or pallu, so the gold zari catches light across the whole drape.

How is this different from your peacock blue Maheshwari saree?

On the peacock blue piece, peacock leads with a green shift, which makes it lighter and better suited to evening functions and receptions. On this one royal blue leads with peacock as the second shade, which reads deeper and more formal — better for a daytime wedding, a housewarming or a corporate event.

Is a blouse piece included?

Yes. The blouse piece is included within the 6.3 metre length.

What are the measurements?

6.3 metres in length including the blouse piece, and 45–47 inches in width. The saree is free size.

Can I wear this to a wedding as a guest?

Yes. Royal blue with gold zari is a formal wedding-guest shade, and the light Maheshwari weave means you can sit and move through a long function comfortably.

Is this a good saree to gift?

Yes. Royal blue suits a wide range of ages and skin tones, the saree is free size so you do not need her measurements, and the blouse piece is included.

Is it suitable for a housewarming or Grihapravesam?

Yes. It is formal enough for the function and light enough to wear through a long morning of rituals.

What jewellery should I pair with it?

Pearl or silver sits beautifully against royal blue; gold works too because the zari buttas are gold. Pick one metal rather than mixing, and keep it to one statement piece.

What blouse colour goes with this saree?

Solid royal blue for a tonal look, silver or grey to pick up the cool tone, or mustard for a warm contrast. Choose the shade from the saree itself rather than adding a new colour.

Will royal blue suit my skin tone?

Royal blue is striking on fair cool tones and on deep skin tones, and the peacock second shade keeps it from reading flat on medium and dusky warm tones.

When will my order be dispatched, and is COD available?

This is a ready-to-ship saree, dispatched within 1–3 working days of order confirmation. COD is available for select PIN codes, and tracking is shared once it ships.
