Questions women ask
Which colour blouse goes with a green saree?
Purple, rani pink, mustard yellow and maroon all look good with green. For a matched look, go a shade darker, like bottle green with parrot green.
What is a double colour blouse design?
It uses two fabrics in one blouse, for example a split back, contrast sleeves or a contrast back panel. It lets one blouse match more than one saree.
Which back design suits a yellow blouse design?
Sweetheart, leaf and U shapes look soft and pretty in yellow. Add a green or maroon dori with latkans for haldi and festive days.
Is wine colour the same as maroon?
No. Wine colour has more purple in it, while maroon is closer to brown red. Wine looks lovely with gold, grey and pink sarees.
Which pista colour blouse back design is best?
Pista is light, so keep the work white, silver or pale gold. A leaf or round back with thread work looks fresh and suits day functions.
What brown blouse design looks modern?
Pair coffee brown with a contrast like teal, mustard or rust sleeves. A boat neck or collar also makes brown look modern and smart.
