Tepchi Handwork Georgette Saree Soft Orange (Last Piece Available)

What shade of orange is it?

It is a soft, peachy orange, light and warm rather than bright, with a deeper orange band at the hem. White tepchi vines run all over it, and the white stands out crisply against the gentle peach ground.

What does the embroidery look like?

Long, slender vines with small leaves are stitched in white across the body and pallu. The lines are fine and flowing, so the saree looks airy rather than heavily worked.

Which blouse goes with orange?

Hot pink is a lively, festive combination with peachy orange. White or gold give a classic finish, and teal makes a striking contrast. The attached blouse piece comes in the pallu colour if you prefer a matched look.

Is the blouse piece included?

Yes, it comes attached to the saree, which is 6.3 to 6.4 metres long including the blouse. The blouse piece is in the pallu colour, so a matched blouse is ready to stitch without hunting for fabric.

What petticoat suits it?

Georgette is sheer, so an orange or peach petticoat matched to the ground works best. A white one can look patchy through the pleats, and a darker shade would dull the soft peachy orange.

Will the orange fade?

Treat it gently and keep it out of strong sun. Hand wash it with a mild detergent, separately from other clothes, then dry it in the shade. Iron on the reverse side at a low heat so the white stitches stay raised.
