Sea Green Off White Floral Paper Silk Saree

Sea Green Off White Floral Paper Silk Saree

This Sea Green Off White Floral Paper Silk Saree is a lightweight Banarasi saree in a paper silk blend — an off white body framed by a sea green border and pallu, woven with meena weave floral and parrot motifs in gold zari. It is an easy saree to reach for across occasions: poojas and festive mornings, family functions and weddings you attend as a guest, housewarmings, get-togethers and celebration evenings.

• Weave: Banarasi weave, with meena weave motifs and gold zari.
• Colour: Off white body with a sea green border and pallu.
• Motifs: Floral and parrot meena motifs, with buttas across the body.

Measurements

• Width: 45-47 inches

Where you can wear it

The pastel off white ground with gold zari reads formal without being heavy, which is what makes it flexible. It works for daytime poojas and temple visits, festive mornings at home, engagement and wedding functions where you are a guest, housewarming and naming ceremonies, and evening receptions when styled with heavier jewellery. If you want one saree that covers most of the year's occasions, this is that saree.

Styling

Statement earrings and a simple gold neckpiece are enough for daytime wear. For evening functions, add a temple-work necklace and gold bangles. A sea green blouse picks up the border; an off white or gold blouse keeps the look softer.

Care

• Dry clean recommended for the first few washes.
• Do not machine wash.
• Store folded in a cotton cloth bag, away from direct sunlight, and refold along different lines every few months.
• Iron on low heat with a cloth between the iron and the zari.

Note: Slight colour changes are expected due to camera settings and lighting effects.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Sea Green Off White Floral Paper Silk Saree pure silk?
No. It is woven in paper silk, which is a silk blend, not pure silk. We say this plainly so you know exactly what you are buying.

What is paper silk?
Paper silk is a light silk-blend fabric with a crisp, papery finish. It holds pleats well and drapes with structure without the weight of a heavy silk saree.

What weave is this saree?
It is a Banarasi weave with meena weave motifs. Meena weave is the technique where coloured threads are woven alongside the zari to give the motifs their detail.

What colours are the body and border?
The body is off white and the border and pallu are sea green, with gold zari running through the weave.

What motifs does it have?
Floral and parrot meena motifs, with buttas scattered across the body.

Does the Sea Green Off White Floral Paper Silk Saree come with a blouse piece?
Yes. The 6.3 meter length includes an unstitched blouse piece.

What are the saree measurements?
Length 6.3 meters including the blouse piece, and width 45-47 inches.

Is this saree heavy to wear?
No. Paper silk is a lightweight fabric, which makes this an easy saree to wear through a long function.

It suits a wide range — daytime poojas, temple visits, festive mornings, housewarmings, baby showers, engagements, weddings you attend as a guest, and evening receptions when styled with heavier jewellery.

Can I wear this saree during the day?
Yes. The pastel off white ground is well-suited to daytime functions, and the gold zari lifts it for evening wear.

Statement earrings with a simple gold chain for daytime, and temple jewellery with bangles for evening functions.

How do I wash and care for this saree?
Dry clean is recommended for the first few washes. Do not machine wash it. Store it folded in a cotton bag away from sunlight.

Will the colour look exactly like the photographs?
Slight colour differences are expected because of camera settings and lighting. The sea green may appear a shade cooler or warmer on your screen.

Is this saree a good gift?
Yes. Because it is not tied to one occasion, it works well as a gift for a wedding, a birthday or a festival — the person receiving it can wear it to whichever function comes next.
