Question 1

Are cotton sarees suitable for formal occasions?

Accepted Answer

While cotton sarees are primarily for daily wear, handloom cotton sarees with fine weave and traditional designs can be worn for semi-formal occasions. Silk-cotton blends or cotton sarees with zari borders are also appropriate for office settings and daytime events. For very formal occasions, opt for silk varieties instead.

Question 2

How do I wash cotton sarees?

Accepted Answer

Most cotton sarees can be hand washed or machine washed on gentle cycle. Use cold or lukewarm water with mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach. For printed cottons, turn inside out before washing. Dry in shade to prevent color fading. Iron while slightly damp on medium to high heat for best results.

Question 3

Do cotton sarees shrink after washing?

Accepted Answer

Pure cotton may shrink slightly (2-3%) after the first wash. To minimize shrinkage, wash in cold water and avoid hot dryer. Pre-washed cotton sarees are available which have minimal shrinkage. Always follow care instructions. Once the initial shrinkage occurs, the saree will maintain its size with proper care.
