Not every saree needs to be an heirloom - some just need to work. The georgette does the work here - it falls properly and holds its shape through a long day.

It is cut for weddings and the events around them, where you are on your feet for hours and want to stay comfortable. Colour on your screen will not be an exact match for the fabric in your hand - dye lots and monitors both vary.

Care is the usual: dry-clean anything with zari or dense embroidery, hand-wash cottons and rayons in cold water, and dry in shade rather than direct sun.
