Is chiffon a good choice for a long function?
It is one of the easiest. Chiffon weighs very little, so a full evening in it does not drag on the shoulder the way a heavy silk can, and the fine weave lets air through. The trade-off is that it needs more pins, because the fabric slips against itself.
How many pleats should I take in a chiffon saree?
Slightly more than you would in a stiffer fabric. Chiffon has almost no body of its own, so extra pleats give the fall the weight it needs to hang straight instead of clinging. Seven to nine pleats is a common range, secured at the waist with a safety pin.
Does the orange in this saree fade under indoor lighting?
It does not fade, but it does change character. Warm shades like orange hold their strength in daylight and go slightly deeper under yellow indoor lighting. That is normal for the colour rather than anything to do with this fabric, and it reverses as soon as you step outside.
What does free size mean when I order this saree?
It means the saree is supplied as one length instead of in graded sizes. No measurement is cut, so the same piece works across different heights and builds, and the fit is settled entirely by how you drape and pin it. The petticoat you wear sets the final fall.
