Red Pochampally Double Ikat Pure Silk Saree — Ikat Pallu & Golden Zari Blouse, 6.3 m
A red Pochampally double ikat pure silk saree with an ikat pallu and a golden zari blouse piece, 6.3 metres in total.
Red is where ikat is at its most legible. The resist-dyed edges — that soft feathering where one colour gives way to the next — show more clearly against a saturated ground than against a pale one, so the technique is visible at a glance rather than on close inspection.
The blouse piece here is golden zari rather than plain red, which is the detail worth noting: it means the saree arrives ready to wear as a set, without the usual hunt for something that matches.

Care
