What is net applique?
Shapes are cut from an open mesh fabric and stitched onto the base cloth. Because net is sheer, the applique reads as a shadow of pattern rather than a solid block, and the base colour shows through it, which gives a layered effect a solid applique cannot.
How does net applique differ from sequin applique?
Net applique is transparent, so the motif reads as a soft layered shadow with the ground showing through. Sequin applique is solid and reflective, so the motif reads as a bright shape. This saree uses both, which gives contrast between transparency and shine.
What jewellery suits a light grey and gold palette?
Silver or gunmetal holds the palette together better than yellow gold, since the light gold in the saree is already supplying the warm note. Diamond-look or crystal pieces also work well against a pale grey ground without competing with the sequin work.
Is a sequins blouse comfortable?
A fully sequinned fabric is stiffer than plain cloth and can feel scratchy against bare skin, which is why blouses in this fabric are usually lined. It is worth asking your tailor to line it if the piece does not already have a soft backing.
