Tepchi Handwork Georgette Saree Dark Green

How does the white work look on dark green?

Strong and clear. White leafy vines are stitched all over a deep bottle green, so the pattern stands out sharply against the dark ground. The georgette is sheer and light, so it is a rich colour that still feels airy to wear.

What is the border like?

A narrow plain green edge runs along the border, with the embroidery covering the body and pallu right up to it. There is no heavy border, so the vines remain the focus of the saree.

Is the bottle green dressy enough for evenings?

Yes. Deep green with white work looks rich under evening lights, and it pairs easily with gold or silver. Dress it up with a worked blouse and statement earrings, or keep it simple with a plain one.

What petticoat goes with it?

Georgette is sheer, so a dark green petticoat matched to the ground is the best choice. A lighter one will show through and make the green look patchy at the pleats, while a matched one keeps the colour deep and even.

Which blouse would you pair?

A white blouse keeps it crisp and lets the embroidery stand out. Silver or soft gold blouses suit evenings, and the attached blouse piece in the pallu colour gives a matched bottle-green look.

How do I wash it?

Gentle hand wash with a mild detergent, washing it separately from other clothes. Do not wring it; press out the water and dry it in the shade, which helps the deep green keep its colour and the white thread stay bright.
