4. Fish Cut Saree

The fish cut saree is a royal ensemble with the pallu being an essential element that helps maintain the look of the saree. Shaping the legs is the petticoat, which helps create the fish cut dress style of the saree. Next, comes the flare, which looks the best when the bottom of the saree is embellished with embroideries, sequins, stones or gems.
You can leave the pallu loose or pin it up, according to your preference, however, we would recommend pinning it up. Along with a saree, you should always wear a pair of heels! Get in touch with a professional makeup artist to make sure your look is as exciting as your outfit!
