Parts of our affordable range are powerloom and we label those as powerloom — we do not use the word handloom loosely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is mul cotton different from ordinary cotton?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMul, or mulmul, is spun and woven finer than regular cotton. The result is lighter, airier and softer against the skin, with a drape that falls close to the body rather than standing away from it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre the stripes woven in or printed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWoven. The gold zari stripes run through the fabric itself, so they will not lift or crack the way a printed line eventually does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere does the scalloped border run?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlong the length of the saree, not just at the ends. You will see the scallop detail wherever the edge falls in your drape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the length and width?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5.5 metres long and 1.15 metres wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs a blouse piece included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Mul cotton is a very delicate fabric, so we do not attach a blouse piece to it. You will need to source your blouse fabric separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I wash this saree?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Do not wring or twist it. Line dry in the shade and iron on a warm setting only — a hot iron will dull the zari.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the zari tarnish?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetallic thread can dull over time, particularly in humid conditions or if the saree is stored in plastic. Wrapping it in white cotton cloth and keeping it somewhere dry is the single best thing you can do for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat blouse colour should I choose for a grey saree?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrey takes almost anything. Mustard and rust warm it, wine and bottle green deepen it, and black makes it look sharp and formal. If you prefer tonal, a slightly darker charcoal blouse looks considered rather than plain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I see the actual saree before ordering?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

Go tonal with an ivory or cream blouse and the whole drape stays soft and understated.

If the exact shade matters for a function, ask us for a video call and we will show it to you in daylight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this saree handloom?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, it is handloom mul cotton. Where a piece in our range is powerloom, we say powerloom on that listing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre the zari stripes visible?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSubtly. Against a pale yellow ground the zari reads close to tone-on-tone rather than glinting — you notice it when the light shifts. If you want zari that stands out, the same saree in grey shows it far more strongly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes a pastel saree suit every skin tone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eButter yellow has a warm undertone, so it tends to sit beautifully on wheatish and deeper skin. On very fair skin it can read soft — a deeper contrast blouse and border fixes that immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the length and width?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5.5 metres long and 1.15 metres wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs a blouse piece included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Mul cotton is a very delicate fabric, so we do not attach a blouse piece to it. Blouse fabric is sourced separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill a pale saree stain easily?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight colours show marks more readily than dark ones — that is simply true of any pastel. Wash it separately, treat spills quickly rather than letting them set, and keep it out of direct sun when drying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I wash it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand wash in cold water with a mild detergent, on its own rather than with darker clothes. No wringing, no twisting. Line dry in shade and use a warm iron only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs mul cotton comfortable in summer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is one of the lightest cottons woven in India, so yes. It breathes, it does not cling, and a pale colour holds less heat than a dark one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I see the actual saree on video before ordering?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

It is light against the skin, breathes well in South Indian heat, and softens further with every wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs there real mirror work on it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

The coloured thread rings around the mirrors and the small cross-shaped motifs are machine embroidery, not hand embroidery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre the pom poms stitched on or glued?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStitched. Every pom pom is sewn on to the saree, not glued.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat colours are on this saree?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe saree is black. The mirrors are ringed in pink, yellow, blue and white thread, and the pom poms are marigold, blue and white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this saree have a border?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. There is no border. The black runs edge to edge, and all the colour comes from the mirrors, pom poms and small motifs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long is it, and does it come with a blouse piece?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe saree is 5.3 metres long and free size. It does not come with a blouse piece, so you will need blouse fabric separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy can I see faint circles on the fabric in the photos?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMul cotton is fine and light. Where the saree is folded, the backs of the mirrors and pom poms on the layer underneath show through faintly. They are not stains or marks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I wash this pom pom saree?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDry clean is my first recommendation. If you wash it at home, use cold water and a mild detergent, keep brushes away from the embroidery, do not wring it, line dry in shade, and iron warm on the reverse, away from the pom poms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich blouse colour goes with a black multicolour saree?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePick one colour from the saree itself. Marigold, pink or blue gives contrast, while a plain black blouse keeps the look calm and lets the small bursts of colour lead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this saree suitable for Navratri?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The multicolour mirrors and pom poms suit Navratri and Golu evenings, and mul cotton stays light and breathable through long hours of celebration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I see this saree on a video call before ordering?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Message me on WhatsApp at 7353931190 and we will set up a video call. I will show you the mirrors, the pom poms and how the mul falls, in real light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the shipping, COD and return terms?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShipping is free on prepaid orders within India.
