Bright Organdy Cotton Saree Applique Work Yellow

What motifs are on the pallu?

The heavily worked pallu carries square lattice patches and white flowers in applique, framed by a cream geometric openwork-look border. Scattered white flowers also appear across the pale lemon body, so the design flows from the body into the richer pallu.

How is applique different from embroidery?

Embroidery builds a design with thread. Applique sews shaped pieces of fabric onto the base. Here the cut fabric shapes are stitched onto organdy, so the motifs have a layered, slightly raised texture and look more opaque than the sheer body.

Is it see-through?

Organdy is a sheer cotton, so yes, the plain body is translucent. Wear a petticoat close to the base colour or your skin tone. The applique areas are layered and less sheer.

Is it suitable for summer?

Yes. Organdy cotton is lightweight and sheer, with a crisp texture, so it feels airy on warm days. The pale lemon with white flowers looks fresh in daylight, which makes it an easy choice for a haldi, a summer brunch, office days or travel.

What care does it need?

Dry cleaning is preferred. If needed, hand-wash gently with a mild detergent, separately from other clothes, and dry in the shade. Avoid wringing or scrubbing the applique panels. Store it folded flat with the applique inside.
