Putting it Together

Saris For the Bride:
1: Gadhwal
2: Paithani
3: Banarasi / Baluchari
4: Silk Kantha
5: Kanjeevaram / Sambalpuri / Ikat Patola
*Whatever you choose should be good quality original long lasting silk that is non transparent. Obviously something that looks more of elegant than seductive.

Saris For the Corporate Woman:
1: Light weight Printed Silks in subdued colours
2: Crepes in small prints
3: Cottons well starched and simple in design
*Cotton Saris look great if worn with a matching Silk Sleeveless or mega Sleeved Blouse

For the Lean and Fit Women:
1:Georgette Silk & Chiffon Sarees: are the most flattering for the well maintained body and come in the most varied designs and colors. These definitely fall into the Seductive bracket and you might want to consider them on a special evening with Hubby Deary! :)

Other Occassions:

Cotton Kantha's / Kota's: Best for office.
Silk Kanthas: for any evening functions these look absolutely elegant.
Kanjeevarams: Orange, Amber or Mustard Colored look great for any Haldi Function.
Banarasi Saris: Brown, Green, Teal, Blue Perfect for any wedding.
Lukhnavi Chikan Saris: Come in dull colors and are extremely transparent Unless u have a perfect 10 u are better off avoiding this one. However you might want to go in for a White Black Blue kurtis which look extremely elegant also a Luckhnavi Suit looks great with the right stitch and fit for the office.
Bandhanis: Ideal if u wish to wear a colourful look with loads of bangles and some oxidized heavy jewellery with a long black bindi. Can be worn for any Haldi Kunkum or those Dandiya nights when u don’t wish to adorn a ghagra choli...
Ikat: Main forms of Ikat are Patola from Gujarat and Pochampalli from Andhra Pradesh. These are great for any engagement or wedding and come in the most varied of colours.
Banarasi / Jamdani: Golden Weave or Zardosi Work in red looks great on a bride.
Chanderi: This ones a sure head turner. Well Starched and worn with a matching Silk blouse looks awesome. This also is the super transparent but if worn well and carried to perfection, you will be grabbing the right kind of attention.
Baluchari: Traditional saris from Baluchar, Bengal, characterized by mythological scenes hand-woven on the sari. Unique and one of a kind these are best for any wedding.
