Sapphire Organdy Cotton Saree Applique Work Blue

What motifs are on it?

Large white applique flowers and lattice patches are placed across the pale sage-mint body, and the pallu is heavily worked. A white geometric openwork-look border runs along the edge. The motifs are placed rather than all-over, so plain fabric shows between them and the look stays airy.

What does the lattice border look like?

It is a white geometric border with an openwork look, combining applique and cutwork. Against the pale sage-mint ground, the white openwork reads light and lace-like, and it frames the large white flowers placed across the body.

What petticoat should I wear?

Organdy is sheer, so choose a petticoat that matches the base closely, in fine cotton. That keeps the body neat and lets the white applique stand out. Avoid white underneath.

Is organdy stiff?

Organdy has a crisp texture rather than a soft, fluid one. It is a lightweight, sheer cotton, so it stays light to wear on warm days and suits summer outings, office days and brunches. The crispness also shows off the structured applique and openwork border well.

Is the blouse piece included?

Yes. It is attached to the saree, and the 6.3 to 6.4 metre length includes it. Cut it off along the end of the saree before tailoring, and there is still plenty of length for pleats and a full pallu.
