Read on to learn about different types of Georgette sarees and the various draping styles that you can flaunt.

1. Printed Georgette Sarees: From delicate florals, paisleys and other bold patterns to traditional Leheriya print and geometric designs, there’s a printed Georgette saree to suit every mood and moment. The vivid prints look mesmerizing on the ethereal Georgette fabric. Choose from Taneira’s wide range of printed Georgette sarees in a colour of your choice and you’re sure to make a statement wherever you go.

   

   Suggested Draping Style: If minimalism is your style, a printed saree is perfect for you. Such a saree looks gorgeous when you opt for a simple drape that highlights the elegant print without overwhelming it. To drape the saree in the classic Nivi style, tuck the saree’s end into your petticoat at the waist, wrap it around and gather the remaining fabric into even pleats. Finally, drape the pallu over your left shoulder, letting it fall naturally.

2. Embroidered Georgette Sarees: Georgette's lightweight, airy fabric provides the perfect backdrop for the delicate details of embroidery. This pairing results in a saree that looks both sophisticated and artistic. Taneira’s collection of embroidered Georgette sarees flaunts intricate thread work, shimmering sequins, zari highlights, Chikankari and more. Embroidery adds a layer of richness and grace to the saree, making it ideal for special occasions and gatherings, big or small.

   

   Suggested Draping Style: Drape an embroidered saree in a way that makes the delicate embroidery stand out. One way to do so is to pick a blouse that complements the saree’s embroidery. You can choose to drape the saree front pallu style or be innovative with the pallu and wrap it around the neck like a scarf. Using a decorative pin or brooch over the pallu is also an interesting way to amp up your look.

3. Embellished Georgette Sarees: Georgette sarees with embellishments like pearls, gota patti, patchwork and beadwork are ideal for special occasions like weddings and festivals. Embellished georgette sarees combine the light, flowing nature of the fabric with the grandeur and shine of the embellishments, making it a glamorous piece.

   

   Suggested Draping Style: Ensure your Georgette saree is wrinkle-free, especially around the embellished areas. Since Georgette is a delicate fabric, an embellished saree must be pinned up well so that it stays well in place. While draping, ensure you pin the pleats before tucking them in. Also, irrespective of the pallu style you go ahead with, pin it well to your blouse so that it stays put.

4. Woven Georgette Sarees: A Banarasi Georgette saree looks truly opulent with its shimmering golden zari as it showcases the essence of traditional craftsmanship. The graceful drape of a Georgette saree is further enhanced by the exquisite golden zari detailing that adorns it. These Georgette Silk sarees are brimming with traditional artistry, making them ideal for traditional occasions like poojas, weddings and family gatherings.

   

   Suggested Draping Style: Your woven Banarasi Georgette is sure to look gorgeous no matter how you drape it. However, draping it in the traditional Gujarati style is a beautiful way to highlight the zari woven pallu. Also, allow the pleats to fall naturally without making them too stiff, as the Georgette fabric flows gracefully.

Tips for Styling Georgette Sarees

Since Georgette is a very soft and flowy fabric, it is important to maintain a fine balance with respect to the accessorising and draping techniques. Here are some tips to help you style your pure Georgette sarees beautifully:

• Keep the drape simple, whether you choose to pleat or let the pallu flow freely, as the fabric is very delicate.

• Choosing the right blouse for your saree is important. Since Georgette is a lightweight fabric, an embellished or embroidered blouse will be a great choice as it will add texture to your ensemble.

• Experiment with your look by adding a belt to your saree, which can add a modern touch to the traditional drape.

• Wearing a jacket or a cape on your saree is another stylish way to add a modern touch to your ensemble.

• Pair your printed and embroidered sarees with elegant jewellery like pearls or other minimal earrings and necklaces. For your woven Georgette Silk sarees, go for traditional gold jewellery.

• Opt for comfortable heels for your saree look as it helps prevent the saree from dragging on the ground. If you’re not comfortable with wearing heels, you can explore juttis or kolkapuris.

Georgette sarees are renowned for their versatility, effortlessly transitioning from grand celebrations to intimate gatherings. Whether you’re attending a lavish event or a casual office day, Georgette sarees ensure you look stunning and feel confident. Their lightweight fabric and graceful drape make them a perfect choice for any occasion.
