Pink Organdy Cotton Saree Applique Work Pink

Where can I wear this saree?

Festive gatherings suit it well. The soft pale pink and neat white applique also work for an office party, a kitty lunch or brunch, and office days. Being light, sheer cotton organdy, it is easy to wear in summer and to pack for travel.

What motifs are on the body and pallu?

White applique flowers and square lattice patches are placed across the pale pink body, with a mix of squares and flowers gathered on the heavily worked pallu. A white geometric openwork-look border frames the pallu on all sides. The white on soft pink gives a gentle, pretty contrast.

How do I keep it from looking see-through?

Organdy is sheer, so a well-fitted petticoat in pink or a skin tone is important. Avoid white, which shows through more. A full-length petticoat gives a neater line under the pleats.

Will the applique catch on jewellery?

Applique shapes and cut-out borders can snag on sharp edges. Choose bangles and earrings with smooth backs, and be careful with safety pins on the pallu. Fold the saree with the applique on the inside when storing.

How should it be washed?

Dry clean preferred. For a gentle hand wash, use a mild detergent and cold water, wash it separately, and dry it in the shade. Do not wring, which can distort the applique.
