Chiffon Saree Blouse Design and Georgette Blouse Ideas

A chiffon saree blouse design has one big job: give structure to a saree that is soft, flowing and almost weightless. Chiffon and georgette drape beautifully, but on their own they slip, stretch and show through.

So most tailors do one of two things. They make the blouse in the same chiffon with a full lining, or they pick a firmer partner fabric such as satin, crepe or raw silk in a matching or contrast colour. Both work. The choice depends on whether you want a soft, matching look or a crisp, defined one.

Below you will find 15 ideas for chiffon, georgette, satin and crepe sarees. For sheer looks, our net blouse design and organza blouse design pages are worth a look too.
