The fabric of the saree blouse should be of the same kind as the saree. Cotton and handloom sarees are the most popular sarees worn for regular wear. The Saree Blouse is often sewn in a plain and simple pattern. Complicated designs are not chosen as it can make the wearer uncomfortable since the blouse will be worn throughout most of the day.

The petticoat is the long skirt worn under the sari which holds the saree and keeps it in place. A drawstring or an elastic band is sewn inside the seam of the waistline of the petticoat to secure it to the wearer’s waist. The petticoat must match the color of the saree and be similar to the fabric.
 Jewellery
Proper jewellery will only add grace to your outfit. Wear jewellery according to the occasion and the look of your saree. Plain cotton sarees look best with light jewellery. Opt for a stud earring or a light dangle earring with simple gold chain and one or two gold bangles to give you a really decent look. Also, remember to match your jewellery with the colour and work of your saree. A saree with silver zari will look good with silver or diamond jewellery whereas golden zari will go with gold.
 Bangles or Bracelets
