Tepchi Handwork Georgette Saree Blue

Is this a light blue or a darker shade?

It is a soft, pale aqua, close to a light turquoise. White floral and leafy tepchi work covers it, with small touches of hot pink, so the saree looks cool and breezy rather than bold.

How is the pallu finished?

The pallu carries the same white flowers and vines as the rest of the saree, so the drape looks seamless from pleats to shoulder. The edges are worked a little more densely, which gives the sheer georgette a soft frame.

Where would it suit best?

A sangeet or cocktail evening comes first, where the light aqua looks fresh under lights. It also suits a kitty party or brunch, festive days, and the office when worn with a simple blouse.

What petticoat suits aqua georgette?

Georgette is sheer, so pick a petticoat in aqua or mint to match the ground. White can look patchy through the pleats, while a darker shade will dull the soft colour.

Which blouse colours work with aqua?

White or silver keeps it soft and summery. Coral or peach gives a warm contrast, and navy makes it more evening-ready. The attached blouse piece in the pallu colour gives a matched look.

What is the wash care?

Gentle hand wash with a mild detergent in cool water, washing it separately from other clothes. Press out the water without wringing the embroidered areas, and dry it in the shade so the soft aqua does not fade.
