A tissue saree is a type of saree woven with very fine threads, often in silk or a silk blend, that give it a shimmery, translucent, and lightweight appearance — much like tissue paper, hence the name. These sarees are known for their elegant sheen and rich texture, making them popular choices for festive occasions, weddings, and formal events.

This is a pink tissue saree with stone embroidery on it:

Its subtle shimmer, sheer texture, and the way it drapes make it ideal for both heritage-inspired and trend-forward styling.

What makes a tissue saree trendy:

• Lightweight and drapes well, allowing creative draping styles (belted, dhoti-style, pre-stitched)

• Can be paired with statement blouses — off-shoulder, halter-neck, sheer sleeves, sequins, or corset styles

• Looks great with contemporary jewelry, heels, and minimal makeup
