Maybe using a pale lime or a periwinkle might bring out the checks?

Hi Kalyani,

I took pics of the green maheshwari on purple/lavender silk but it looked too dark. The green just got washed out. I'm going with a green silk lining for this one.

Hi Kalyani,

That's a great idea, and I hadn't thought of it. I was going to order another shade of green.. something between a green tea type of green and a teal green. But maybe a shade of violet could work. Let me try with fabrics I have in that family and let you know! Thank you :)

This reminds me of the dress that Sharapova wore at this year's Australian open. It was a navy blue weave She had used a bright yellow lining under it. So you could try a complimentary color of the color wheel as a lining. It may help bring out the pattern of the weave. let me know if this works for you.

Hey Vidya,
I tried placing the fabric on a turquoise blue and because the blue was so strong you could barely notice the layer of green organza on top. I'm thinking maybe a cream colour.. or maybe have sections of the dress that have pleats or folds where you can two layers of the organza.

Anaka, I am no expert but looking at that fabric, do you think a dark, contrasting colour like turquoise blue or purple would work better? But I suppose you run the risk of overwhelming the organza completely.
