Not every saree needs to be an heirloom - some just need to work. Chiffon in green - a pairing that photographs well and, more usefully, looks right in person.

It moves between everyday wear and occasions without needing much thought. Measurements can vary by up to an inch, so check the size guide before ordering rather than going by the letter size alone.

Follow the care label first. As a general rule, silk, zari and heavy embroidery should be dry-cleaned; cotton and rayon can usually be hand-washed cold and dried in shade.
