Care and Stitching Tips for Metallic Fabric

Questions women ask

Which golden blouse design back side looks best for weddings?

A deep U back with velvet piping and latkans, or a high back with pearl edges, both look rich at weddings. Pick the deeper one for receptions and the higher one for long rituals.

Can a plain golden blouse go with any saree?

Almost any silk saree with gold zari. It does not suit sarees with silver zari or very cool pastel colours, where silver or rose gold is better.

What is the difference between golden and antique gold?

Bright gold is yellow and shiny. Antique gold is softer and slightly brown, so it looks rich with maroon, purple and earthy colours.

Which simple golden blouse back design is good for Onam?

A gold cotton silk blouse with a square or round back of about 7 inches and short sleeves is the classic match for a kasavu saree.

Which fancy silver blouse design suits a black saree?

Silver grey with a sequin V back, or silver brocade with a keyhole back, both look elegant with black. Keep jewellery silver or diamond toned.
