This is one of the modern sarees that probably everyone has come across at least once because it has become such a rage. Pairing a spaghetti blouse and a plain saree with a net cape solves two purposes - it keeps the traditional look of the saree intact and adds a subtle hint of glamour to it. 

Cape-style modern sarees are perfect for reception wear if paired with the right jewellery and makeup.
