How to Brief Your Tailor for a Net Blouse

Questions women ask

Which lining is best for a net saree blouse design?

Cotton lining is the best for comfort, especially in summer. Use skin tone lining if you want the net to look sheer, and matching colour if you want a solid look.

Is a net blouse back design comfortable for long functions?

Yes, if the net is soft and the hooks sit on a solid band.

What is the best front net blouse design for a modest look?

A high net yoke over a solid sweetheart or round base works best. The front looks light but you stay fully covered.

Can I wear a net black blouse design with a coloured saree?

Yes. A black net blouse with sheer sleeves looks great with red, gold, silver and many printed sarees.

How deep should a net blouse back neck be?

For daily wear keep it about 7 to 8 inches. For parties you can go 9 to 11 inches, but add padding and a dori or a solid band so the back does not slip.
