Yellow Chikankari Saree Lookbook: 7 New Drapes and Styling Concepts

Let's get real. Most of us purchase a beautiful saree, use it, take a few pics, and after that, it just collects dust in the cupboard. Not because we don't adore it, but because we don't know anything new to do with it. Now imagine this. A sunflower yellow viscose georgette saree. Light as air, as brilliant as sunshine, and adorned with intricate Chikankari embroidery that mimics whispers.

That's the essence of Eksutram's Chikankari Saree collection. It's lovely, yes, but also brimming with styling possibilities. You just need some new ideas on how to wear it.

Yellow Chikankari, Styled 7 Ways

Here are the 7 stylish ways you can dress a yellow saree in georgette. Wearable options that you can rock with a dash of creativity:

1. The Classic Drape, with a Twist

Begin with the classic Nivi look. Waist pleats, pallu on one shoulder. But change the blouse. Experiment with a contrast crop top, an up-neck sleeveless blouse, or even a pale shirt knotted over the waist. A sunflower yellow viscose georgette saree is so soft that it can support aggressive accents without losing its appeal. Opt for a smooth bun and flashy jhumkas if you're going out. It never fails.

2. Saree with a Belt

It sounds ridiculous, but it is effective. Place a wide belt or kamarbandh around the waist once you have draped your saree. The belt gives structure and immediately gives the entire outfit a newer look. It keeps everything secure and provides just enough tension. You can opt for leather, embroidery fabric, or even a chain-type kamarbandh, depending on what you feel like.

3. Draped Over a Skirt

Here's a twist. Wear a flared lehenga or a heavy maxi skirt in place of the regular petticoat. Drape the Eksutram chikankari saree over it, loosely pleated. Have the pallu fall wide and flowing. It adds volume and drama without making you appear hefty. You can keep the blouse simple or go whole hog with prints or textures. Both are equally good.

4. The Bengali Drape

This drape imparts personality even to the most basic saree. It allows the Chikankari detailing on your sunflower yellow saree to shine down the chest and back. Complete it with a small red bindi, kohl eyes, and a messy low bun. Timeless and commanding! The chikankari saree collection can be styled in various ways. You can glam it up with heavy earrings and a glamorous face, or casual it up with sneakers and a cotton top.

5. Half Saree Style

Pair a lehenga, a blouse, and your Eksutram chikankari saree to recreate a half saree. Simply fold the pallu around your torso and wrap it over your shoulder like a dupatta. It's a young, celebratory look that's ideal for haldi ceremonies or day weddings.

6. Layered with a Cape

Having a dreamy look is always on top. To get this look drape the saree with pleats that are minimal and then wear a sheer or embroidered cape over it. In chiffon or organza, a yellow offshade adds interest and depth to the embroidery. Give waves in your hair and let the fabric speak for you.

7. Saree with Pants

This one's brave but very wearable. Tapered pants or customized slacks go well with sarees. Begin the drape from the back, slightly pleat at the front, and let the pallu flow long behind you. It's an innovative way to style a sunflower yellow viscose georgette saree, perfect for fashion gatherings or art spaces. Throw on a statement clutch and you're good to go.

Quick Saree Care Tips

Folding: Fold along embroidery seams to prevent creasing the Chikankari.

Storage: Wrap in a soft cloth or muslin. Include neem leaves or cloves to keep insects away.

Cleaning: Only dry clean. Avoid machine wash or harsh detergents.

Ironing: Iron at low heat with a cloth over it. Never iron on embroidery.

Hanging: Do not hang for a long time to avoid fabric stretch.

Oops-Proof Your Look: 4 Common Mistakes to Dodge

Little changes big things. Here's what not to do so that your sunflower yellow viscose georgette saree from Eksutram's chikankari range dazzles.

1. Over-accessorizing the look

Chikankari is dainty and intricate. Covering yourself in clunky jewellery or heavy make-up can overwhelm the subtle charm of the work. Give the saree air. Choose one show-stopper, not five.

2. Selecting the incorrect blouse material

Steer clear of blouses made of rigid or sheeny materials that scream against the georgette's gentleness. Cotton-silk, crepe, or even fine linen is more suitable. The blouse must seem like an extension of the saree, not a distinct occasion.

3. Too many pins on the pallu

Although you want it to be secure, too many pins ruin the draping. In many cases, one well-placed pin is enough. Allow the fabric to drift. That's half its beauty.

4. Wearing it in dim lighting

This sunflower yellow glows optimally in natural light or warm, soft lights. Blinding white lights can make it appear flat. If you're dressing for a shoot or an event, lighting is more important than you realize.

Wrapping Up

There's no need to overthink a saree like this. The saree already possesses color, texture, and drape. The sunflower yellow viscose georgette saree from Eksutram’s is packed with movement and elegance. It works within your day, not the reverse. So don't wait for a wedding to break it out. Test one of these looks next time you want to wear something lovely just because.
