• Dry Clean Only: Preserve the silk’s shine by using professional dry cleaning. Never machine wash silk, as water and agitation can damage delicate fibers.
• Gentle Handling: Avoid bleach or harsh detergents. If hand-washing is necessary, use cold water and a mild soap, and do not wring or twist the fabric.
• Dry & Store Properly: Dry the saree in shade (keep out of direct sunlight to prevent fading). Store it wrapped in a soft cotton or muslin cloth to protect against moisture. Refold the saree periodically to avoid permanent creases.
• Ironing Tips: Iron on the silk setting (lowest heat) with a thin cotton cloth over the saree. Iron on the reverse side to maintain the fabric’s luster. Steaming is a safe alternative for stubborn wrinkles.

• Classic Nivi Drape (Formal Occasions): Pleat the saree at the waist with the pallu draped over the shoulder. This timeless style showcases the zari border. Pair with an elegant gold necklace and matching jhumkas, and pull hair into a sleek bun or braid for a refined look.
• Bengali/Traditional Drape (Weddings & Puja): Let the pallu fall down the back or over the shoulder. This regal style is favored at weddingsheritagebanaras.com. Accessorize with bold temple jewelry, a striking maang-tikka, and flower garlands in the hair to enhance the traditional bridal vibe.
• Lehenga/Indo-Western Style (Parties/Reception): Create a flared silhouette (lehenga drape) or pair the saree with a modern crop top or jacket. Use a statement belt at the waist to blend modern and traditional. Add contemporary accessories like a clutch and stilettos. A bold lip color and fashionable earrings will fuse heritage with trend.
• Gujrati Drape (Festive Celebrations): Bring the pallu to the front over the opposite shoulde. This showcases the vibrant motifs of the saree. Complement this style with colorful bangles or an arm cuff and keep hair either loosely curled or pinned up. Bright lipstick and a coordinating bindi will complete the festive look.
