Should the pallu be pleated or left open?
Both work on a light fabric, and the choice changes the look. A pleated pallu pinned into a neat band over the shoulder reads tidy and formal, while an open pallu falling as a single sheet down the back reads relaxed and shows more of the drape. Chiffon takes either.
Does an open pallu need extra pinning?
It needs a firm pin at the shoulder, because the whole weight of the loose fabric pulls from that one point. Catching both the blouse seam and the saree in that pin spreads the load. A second pin lower down keeps the fall in place if you are moving about.
Is yellow better suited to morning or evening events?
Daylight brings out yellow, so a morning function, a haldi or a spring gathering is where it does its best work. Under warm indoor lighting the same shade goes deeper and can read almost gold, which is not unattractive but is a noticeably different effect.
What contrast blouse would sharpen this drape?
White keeps it crisp and summery, deep green makes it look traditional and deliberate, and black gives it a sharper, more contemporary edge. Since the saree itself is plain, the blouse carries the styling, so a contrast is worth considering rather than defaulting to matching yellow.
