How we'd wear it

The saree that floats

Organza is sheer, crisp and almost weightless. It holds a pleat beautifully and catches daylight in a way satin never quite does. No wonder it's become our go-to for haldi, mehndi, day weddings and summer receptions.

Our plain pastel organzas are made for a contrast blouse. The printed, hand-painted, embroidered and beaded ones need only something simple. A few even come pre-draped, with embellishment, in our patented Less than a Minute style.

Because it's crisp, organza gives you a sculpted drape rather than a clingy one. It keeps that shape all night, so the drape you leave home in is the one in the last photo. For the evening, pair a plain organza with one of our sequin blouses. In winter, add a cape or shawl over a printed one.

Torn between this and chiffon? Chiffon is softer and falls closer to the body. Organza has more volume and structure.
