Tepchi Handwork Georgette Work Pink Saree

How strong is the pink?

It is a soft, pastel pink. The tepchi vines are in white and pale pink, so the embroidery looks tonal and delicate rather than high-contrast. It is one of the gentlest shades in the range.

What petticoat works under pastel pink?

Georgette is sheer, so pick a petticoat in pale pink or a nude tone close to your skin. Avoid bright or dark shades, which show through clearly and change the colour of the saree, especially across the pleats.

Can I wear it to the office?

Yes, though a kitty party or brunch is its first home. The soft pink and tonal work are understated enough for the office, and a white shirt or collared blouse under it makes a neat work look. It also suits festive gatherings and a sangeet or cocktail evening.

Is a blouse piece included?

Yes, a blouse piece in the pallu colour comes attached. The total length is 6.3 to 6.4 metres. If you want something less traditional, a shirt-style or collared blouse in white is a modern option.

What is tepchi embroidery?

It is a chikankari stitch from Lucknow, a fine running stitch worked by hand along drawn lines. It is often used for outlines, which is why the motifs on this saree look light and linear.

How should I wash it?

Gentle hand wash with a mild detergent, washing it separately. Dry it in the shade rather than direct sun, which can fade pastel pinks, and iron on the reverse side at a low heat to protect the fine embroidery.
