Ethnic wear should be comfortable as well as good-looking, and this saree is both. Blue banarasi silk, which is a safer pairing than it sounds - it goes with almost any accessory you already own.

It moves between everyday wear and occasions without needing much thought. Colour on your screen will not be an exact match for the fabric in your hand - dye lots and monitors both vary.

Follow the care label first. As a general rule, silk, zari and heavy embroidery should be dry-cleaned; cotton and rayon can usually be hand-washed cold and dried in shade.
