DECONSTRUCTING THE SAREE – Part 2 – Pico

It’s the little things that make a difference. Like how you treat the end of your Saree. Many a saree comes with the end already taken care of. But if you have to decide…Flat stitch, tassels or pico – so many options. And if you choose pico, so many more decisions to be made. Like where do you get it done? Who does the neatest work? Give it to the neighborhood shop that’s more expensive or add it to the pile to be taken to Commercial Street, where the rate is less? What color thread? And most important of all, what is the actual spelling? Pico, peco, piko, peko or picot? Whew.
