This is a classic saree; midsized zari border and transparent chiffon. A must have kind of saree for your wardrobe.

Pick the color that you like – actually I take that back – pick the color that makes you look the best and get a saree with a midsized silver border. Have three blouses made; the first one is plain, same color as the saree, the second a silver blouse and third a halter top with brown and silver.

Then you can pick which one to wear depending on the occasion. Match with with dangling earrings and you are ready to conquer the world.

I also want to come back to this issue of the difference between the colors that you like and the colors that look good on you. A beautiful friend of mine had an unnatural liking for brown. Take her to a saree shop, show her 1000 sarees and she will pick the brown one. Except that the brown didn’t look too good on her. She looked so much better in lighter colors. A video clip of her in a lighter color saree is what convinced her that that there is comfort color, that is brown for her and another color that brings out the best in her.
