Women
on heavier side should buy sarees (saris) in Georgette,
Chiffon or Chignon. Heavy Mysore Silk sarees (saris)
look beautiful and one tends to look slimmer.
Shorter women should buy sarees with small borders
or no borders. They should definitely avoid big borders
as big borders make one look shorter.
Thin women should buy Organza, Cotton, Tissue and
Tussar Sarees. These Sarees (saris) gives a fuller
effect.
In printed Sarees, avoid big prints, as it gives a
gaudy and a huge look. Delicate print on a Saree,
gives a delicate look.
Dark skin color women should generally buy dark colours
like maroon, green, dark pink etc.

gives a very graceful look. But of course the Saree
