    Hi

    First pls specify what kind of embroidery or work you are looking for then it will be easy to help you . Of hand I would say cream, golden yellow and a light green will go well with the sari

    I also agree with the colours that jayashree has suggessted I feel embroidery should be done in silk thread and not in the cone thread.If you want to have borders creepers with small flowers will be nice.You can do round motifs with kundans all over the saree will also be nice.For slim people big motifs will be nice .For plump people slmall motifs are preferred.This what I feel.I will post some designs soon

    Hi Tumtuma,I do not know whether fabric painting suits chiffon materialor not.you can do wonders with chain stitch and running stitch.you use broken chain stitch for flowers and leaves wiped running stitch for creepers.I have posted 2 borders if you like them you can do it. they are easy designs.if you do not know the stitches tell me I will show you the method
