Apricot Organdy Cotton Saree Applique Work Orange

What does apricot look like in person?

It is a soft, light apricot with a warm, peachy glow. It is gentle rather than bright, and pairs well with gold. Cream flowers and a cream openwork-look border sit softly against it. Screens differ, so expect slight variation in person.

What applique motifs does it have?

Cream flowers and lattice patches are placed across the saree in applique and cutwork, and a cream geometric openwork-look border runs along the edges. The pallu is more heavily worked. On the warm apricot base the applique reads softly.

How does organdy feel to wear?

Organdy cotton is a lightweight, sheer fabric with a crisp texture, so the saree feels airy rather than heavy. Pin the pleats firmly so they lie neatly, and choose a petticoat close to the apricot base, since the sheer fabric will show what is underneath.

What blouse suits it?

The attached blouse piece matches. For contrast, a teal, maroon or deep green blouse looks lovely against apricot. A black blouse also works if you want the pale applique to stand out more, and gold jewellery keeps the warm base glowing.

How should it be washed?

Dry cleaning is preferred. For a gentle hand wash, use a mild detergent, wash it separately, and dry it in the shade. Avoid wringing or scrubbing the applique panels, and store it folded neatly.
