What does silk add to a plain coloured saree?
Movement and depth. The directional sheen means light runs along the ridges of the folds and pools in the hollows, so the shade shifts as you walk rather than staying fixed. A matte fabric in the same colour holds one flat tone throughout the drape.
Does blue silk look formal or festive?
It reads as both, which is why it is such a useful thing to own. The weight and sheen of silk make it formal enough for a reception or a corporate evening, while blue keeps it from carrying the ceremonial weight that red or heavy gold would.
How many pins does a silk drape need?
Fewer than a light fabric. The weight of the cloth keeps the pleats down and stops the pallu sliding off the shoulder, so one pin at the waist and one at the shoulder generally holds the drape through an evening of standing and sitting.
Which metal suits blue silk?
Silver and pearls keep the look cool and contemporary, working with the blue rather than against it. Gold warms the whole effect considerably and pushes it towards a traditional finish, which suits a wedding or a festival better than a formal or corporate evening.
