Deepika Padukone’s iconic black and blue saree from Badtameez Dil and Katrina Kaif’s sheer black number from Teri Ore have inspired many farewell sarees. But if you’re a Gen Z gal looking for an updated version of a farewell party look, I’ve got you covered. Here’s presenting 30 farewell saree design ideas for the big day:
Sheer Floral Printed Saree
This floral printed saree is inspired by Alia Bhatt’s look at a recent event and is perfect for a daytime farewell scene at school or college. It’s feminine, elegant, and sexy—all at the same time.
