Plain Blouses
Let the saree do the talking
If you wear printed, bordered or heavily worked sarees, a plain blouse is the most useful thing you can own. It steps back and lets the saree shine. It also lets you wear one saree several different ways.
Plain doesn't mean flat. Here the fabric and the cut do the work. Our satin back-tie blouses come in violet, moonstone cream, desert blush beige, crimson and snowdrop white. There's sangria velvet, organza V-necks in raven black and liquid gold, and a glam pink bell sleeve that shows how much a shape can say.
Match the blouse to a colour inside the saree, not just its base. A crimson back-tie picks out the red border on a cream cotton. A beige blouse calms a bright Kanjeevaram for a day function. Plain velvet adds richness to a printed georgette in winter.
Two or three solids often cost less than one heavily worked blouse, and they'll be worn far more. The structured ones come padded, so they look finished under a sheer saree. Our plain sarees work the other way round, and our everyday blouses have more woven basics.
Good to know
Which plain blouse goes with the most sarees?

Plain, every time. A heavily worked saree looks richer when the blouse stays quiet.
