Every GLAM inskirt is cotton. The difference is how it is woven, and that decides how it behaves under a saree across a day.
GlamLilly · pure cotton
The everyday one. Breathable poplin that gets softer with each wash and never clings in heat. Office, home, market, a long train journey in a cotton or handloom saree.
Choose it when: the saree is cotton, linen or a light handloom; the day is hot; you want the one you reach for most.
Not ideal for: very sheer sarees, where a satin weave covers better.
GlamTara · cotton satin
The occasion one. A satin weave with a gentle sheen and the densest cover of the three. Silk, Kanjeevaram, Banarasi and heavy drapes fall clean over it without catching, and the pleats hold their line.
Choose it when: the saree is silk, chiffon, georgette or organza; the event is long; the saree is light-coloured or sheer.
Not ideal for: peak summer under thick cotton, where poplin breathes better.
GlamViva · cotton stretch
The all-day one. Cotton blended with stretch, elasticated at the waist and slimmer through the hip. It moves with you: sitting, climbing stairs, a ten-hour wedding day, travel. No drawstring marks.
Choose it when: you will be on your feet or seated for hours; you prefer a slim line under the saree; you dislike tying a drawstring.
Not ideal for: anyone who wants a full flare at the hem; Viva is cut closer.
Quick guide by saree

Care, by fabric
All three: cold machine wash, mild detergent, shade dry. Deep shades separately for the first wash. Tara: iron on the reverse to keep the sheen. Viva: no wringing, and skip the dryer to protect the stretch.
Most women end up with two
A Lilly for the week and a Tara for the occasions covers nearly every saree. Add a Viva if your days run long. Same waist measurement works across all three; only the size range differs, so check the size chart once.
