Tepchi Handwork Georgette Work Yellow Saree

What does the yellow Tepchi saree look like?

A bright lemon yellow georgette covered in white tepchi vines and leaves. The edges carry a slightly denser embroidered band, while the pallu continues the same work as the body. The overall look is fresh, sunny and easy to wear.

Which blouse suits the yellow?

A hot pink blouse is a lively, festive contrast with lemon yellow. Green, royal blue or white also work well. The attached blouse piece is in the pallu colour if you prefer a matched look.

Is the embroidery done by hand?

Yes. Tepchi is a hand embroidery from Lucknow, worked with a needle in a straight running stitch, which is what the name means. Slight variations in stitch length and spacing are normal and show the handwork on each saree.

What petticoat should I wear with it?

Georgette is sheer, so pick a yellow or cream petticoat that matches the ground closely. A white one can look too stark through the pleats, and darker shades will show.

How light is georgette to wear?

Very light. Georgette drapes in soft, fluid folds and does not feel bulky, so the saree is comfortable for long hours and easy to manage while moving around at a function.

How should I wash it?

Gentle hand wash with a mild detergent, separately from other clothes. Press out the water without wringing and dry it in the shade, as bright yellow can fade in strong sun.
