The calm palette makes it easy to wear to office events and evening gatherings, and it dresses up well for festivals. A cream blouse with pearl or silver-toned jewellery suits the cool tones. Keep the makeup soft so the blue and cream stay in focus.
About Pochampally Ikat
Pochampally Ikat is woven in Bhoodan Pochampally and nearby villages in Telangana and is GI-tagged. It is an ikat, or tie-and-dye, technique: sections of yarn are resist-dyed before weaving. Look for the slightly blurred edge on the motifs, which shows the pattern was made by hand ikat and not printed.
Care
Dry clean only. Store the saree wrapped in a soft cotton or muslin cloth, away from moisture, and refold it every few months. Do not spray perfume directly on the silk. Iron on low heat with a cloth in between.
