Tepchi Handwork Georgette Saree Candy Pink

What colour is it in person?

It is a light, bubblegum pink, bright and cheerful, with white tepchi vines of leaves and flowers stitched all over. The white stands out clearly against the pink for a crisp, fresh look, and the sheer georgette keeps the colour soft rather than heavy.

Which blouse goes with candy pink?

A hot pink blouse gives a tonal, festive look. White or gold works for a classic finish, and turquoise gives a bold contrast. The attached blouse piece comes in the pallu colour for a matched option.

Is the embroidery done by hand?

Yes. Tepchi is worked by hand with a needle in a straight running stitch, which is what the word means. Slight variations in the stitching from one vine to the next show the handwork and are part of the craft.

Is georgette heavy to wear?

No. Georgette is a light, fluid fabric with a gentle crinkle, so the saree drapes softly and stays comfortable through a long day or evening. The fine running stitch adds hardly any weight.

What petticoat should I choose?

Georgette is sheer, so a petticoat in a matching pink is best. It keeps the colour even through the pleats and lets the white embroidery look crisp. A white petticoat would show as a paler patch underneath.

How do I care for it?

Hand wash gently with a mild detergent and wash it separately. Dry it in the shade, out of strong sun, and iron on the reverse side at a low heat, taking care over the white tepchi embroidery.
