Does this look work for your body?

Petite
Best fit
Drape the pallu shorter on the shoulder and add 2" block heels. Choose a 5.5m saree to avoid floor drag.

Works well
Choose a cotton or georgette saree (not stiff silk) and ensure the blouse is well-fitted with a firm waist tuck. The drape follows your natural shape.

Hourglass / Pear
Best fit
This is the best body type for this silhouette. The drape follows the natural waist-to-hip curve. Keep pleats slightly to the side of the navel, not dead centre.

Does this look work for your skin tone?
✨
Wheatish / Dusky
Best fit
Navy creates rich contrast against warm undertones — skin appears luminous. Use a dark berry lip and oxidised silver jewellery exactly as styled in image 1.

Deep / Rich
Best fit
Navy reads deeper and more saturated against dark skin — the pink border pops with high contrast. Add a fuchsia lip to echo the border colour.

Fair / Light
Works well
Navy can look cool and washed-out against fair skin. Swap silver jewellery to warm gold-tone, and use a peachy-rose lip rather than a deep berry.
