Size & Drape Guide
A Ponnadhar saree is 5.5 metres as a drape — 6.3 metres including the unstitched blouse piece. The drape itself is Free Size; it adapts to every body. The blouse piece ships unstitched so your tailor can cut it to your exact measure.
Saree length
- Drape: 5.5 m — standard for most draping styles (Nivi, Bengali, Atpoure).
- Blouse piece: 0.8 m of matching raw fabric, unstitched, included with every saree.
- Total fabric: 6.3 m.

Measure your bust at the fullest point, tape level at the back. Hand the unstitched piece and this measurement to your tailor.

Care notes
- Silks (Kanjivaram, Banarasi, Mysore, Tussar): dry clean only. Store folded in muslin; refold every few months to avoid crease fatigue along the zari.
- Cotton handlooms (Jamdani, Chanderi cotton, Tant): cold hand-wash separately the first three washes to release excess dye. Shade dry. Iron on the reverse.
- Organza, chiffon, georgette: dry clean preferred. If hand-washing, use a mild detergent and never wring — roll in a towel to drain.
