Components of a Saree

A saree is a long piece of cloth which varies in length between 4.5 to 8 metres. It typically comprises a Pallu, which is the end piece of the fabric, a saree blouse and the saree it itself. An underskirt is also worn to add shape and hold the saree in place. The pallu is usually the most fanciest part of the saree apart from the blouse.

Points To Keep in Mind

Fabric

The material of the saree is an important factor to consider. Sarees come in so many different types of material and each has its own characteristics. However, not every material suits everyone. Some fabrics may look flattering on some people while the same fabric may look unflattering on another person. This may depend upon different criteria, such as skin tone, body type, etc. The type of fabric that a saree is made of can either make or break the look. Sarees are available in a wide range of fabrics, such as silk, brocade, chanderi, net, chiffon, georgette, velvet, khadi, cotton, linen, satin and so much more. Depending upon your personal choice and comfort, you can choose from among these fabrics.

Work on the Saree

There are different types of embellishments you can find on sarees, such as embroidery, mirror work, zardozi, stone work, gotta patti, meenakari, kundan, resham, beads and many more. While shopping for Kolkata sarees online, you can find them with these embellishments. Pick the one that fancies you the most.

Pattern

Sarees come in a wide range of patterns. To mention a few, they are available in printed, abstract, animal, checkered, chevron, floral, embellished, solid, stripes and textured patterns. Choose one that suits you the best in every way possible.

Occasion

If you are buying a saree for a specific occasion, then the aesthetics of the occasion must be kept in mind. For example, if you are planning to wear a net saree to a condolence gathering or any other function that is conservative, it may be deemed inappropriate.  

Season

The season or weather must also be considered when choosing a saree. For example, if you wear a net saree in the winter, you might feel cold and start to shiver a bit.
