Saree with Fall & Pico
For last-minute plans
Unpack it, pleat it, go
A fall and pico usually means one more trip to the tailor and a few days of waiting. Every saree here arrives with both already finished, so you can drape it the day the parcel lands. No guessing which fall colour matches, either.
Satin leads, and it holds pleats beautifully. There's paradise satin in fuchsia, emerald with bronze pendants and black with gold pendants, plus deep chocolate and green ombres. If you like something a little different, try the rosewood skirt saree with its waterfall pallu.
This is the page we'd bookmark for the invitation that arrives on Thursday for Saturday. Add one of our ready-made blouses. The structured ones come padded, so there's nothing else to sort out.
Not every Swtantra saree is finished this way. Those sold with unstitched blouse fabric usually come without a fall. And for the quickest route of all, a pre-draped saree goes on in under a minute.
Good to know
What exactly are fall and pico?
The fall is a strip of fabric stitched along the lower inner edge to give the saree weight. Pico is the fine finish on the raw edges that stops them fraying.
Can I wear these the day they arrive?
Yes, once you have a blouse. Pair one with a ready-made blouse and you're dressed.
Which blouse suits a black and gold satin?
A black sequin or gold metallic blouse. Keep the neckline simple so the pendants on the pallu stand out.
