Why does a print look softer on chiffon?
Chiffon is sheer, so light travels through the cloth as well as reflecting off it. That gives printed colour a luminous, slightly diffused quality instead of the flat solidity it has on an opaque fabric. Dense patterns that would overwhelm on cotton read gently on chiffon.
Does the petticoat colour change how the saree looks?
On a sheer fabric, yes. The petticoat sits directly behind the print and influences it: a dark one deepens the colours and increases contrast, a light one lifts them and softens the whole drape. Holding the saree against both before choosing is worth the two minutes.
How should a chiffon saree be stored?
Loosely folded or rolled, and not at the bottom of a stack. Fine cloth takes a set from prolonged pressure far more readily than from a short crush, so the creases that give trouble are the ones left in place for months rather than those from a weekend in a bag.
Is there any embroidery on this saree?
No embroidery is listed. The decoration recorded for this design is a print across the body and a zari border at the edge, and zari here is a woven metallic thread rather than needlework. That keeps the surface flat and the drape light.
