Style Tips
Bottle green is a jewel tone, so it pairs richly with gold tissue, ivory, cream, beige, mustard and deep red sarees. For a tonal look, wear it with an olive or emerald drape. Kanjivaram and Banarasi sarees with gold zari suit it particularly well. A plain saree lets the embroidery lead, and the U back shows when the pallu is worn open.

Care
The first clean must be a dry clean. It sets the colour so the green stays deep and doesn't bleed later. After that, hand wash gently in cold water without twisting or wringing. Dry flat in shade and iron on the reverse side with a thin cloth over the embroidery. Store folded with tissue paper so the work doesn't snag.

The back opens into a U neck with a hook closure, while the front is a sweetheart neckline.
Is this blouse padded?
Yes, it is padded and lined, so no separate camisole is needed.
Which sizes are available?

Which sarees go with a bottle green blouse?
Gold tissue, ivory, cream, beige, mustard and deep red sarees all work beautifully, and Kanjivaram or Banarasi drapes with gold zari suit it especially well.
Fabric & care
Handcrafted details need a little extra care to stay beautiful.
- Dry clean first. Always dry clean the first time to protect the fabric, colour and embroidery.
- Hand wash gently, only if needed. After the first dry clean, wash separately in cold water with a mild detergent. Do not soak, scrub or wring.
- Dry in shade. Direct sunlight can fade the colour.
- Iron inside out on low heat, with a thin cotton cloth over embroidered or painted areas. Never iron directly on mirrors.
- Store in a muslin or cotton cover, not plastic, so the fabric can breathe.
Will my blouse look exactly like the photos?
Yes. Our photos are taken in natural daylight and match the piece closely. Slight colour differences can occur because of screen settings.
How do I choose the right size?
Check the size chart beside the product images. If you are between sizes, choose the larger one, as a blouse is easier to take in than to let out. Custom sizing is also available.
Can the blouse be customised?
Yes. We can make it to your measurements and design preferences. Price and delivery time may vary, as the piece is made specially for you. Customised pieces cannot be returned or exchanged, so please share your measurements carefully.
Is there margin for alterations?
Yes. Our blouses have around 2 inches of margin, so the size can be let out if needed.
How can I tell if a blouse is hand embroidered?
Look at the reverse side. Hand embroidery shows small knots and slight irregularities, while machine work looks uniform. Each product's details state whether the piece is hand-worked or machine-embroidered.
Why do handcrafted blouses cost more?
Each handcrafted piece takes days of skilled artisan work and is made individually, not mass-produced.
