Red Raw Silk Blouse with Peacock Embroidery

Style Tip: Complement the blouse with a plain navy saree, a turquoise lehenga, or an antique gold drape. Add meenakari earrings and slim metallic bangles, then choose a centre-parted braid to reveal the geometric back.

Fit Tip: The square neckline should remain level without lifting at the corners. Keep the broad straps evenly positioned and ensure that the longline lower section sits smoothly, while the low back follows the body without gaping.

1. Does raw silk drape like satin?
   No. Raw silk has greater body and holds a more defined shape, while satin falls more fluidly and has a smoother surface. Its structured character is a natural feature of the fabric.
2. Can raw silk be safely steamed?
   Use only gentle steam from a distance and work from the reverse side if permitted by the care label. Avoid direct heat or prolonged steaming, which may alter the fabric’s texture.
3. How should I clean and store this blouse?
   Professional dry cleaning is recommended. Store the blouse flat inside a breathable muslin cover with soft tissue paper between the folds. Protect it from moisture, direct sunlight, perfume, rough fabrics, prolonged hanging, and heavy pressure.
