Silk tissue has that particular sheen that reads as expensive without being loud. This sari uses charcoal as its base, a shade that shifts between grey and silver depending on the light. Tarnished silver work and contemporary zardozi cover the pallu and borders in intricate floral patterns, white threadwork that creates sharp contrast against the dark fabric. Silk tissue has enough body to create defined folds rather than soft gathers. The blouse has elbow-length sleeves with embroidered details that mirror the pallu work, connecting the two pieces without repeating too much.
