The leader of pro-BNP professionals blurted out the remark in presence of the BNP chief at a function in Dhaka on Sunday.
To her amusement, Khaleda heard, "Madam, you are a popular leader. Our leader is beautiful and people like you.
"You look terrific in Jamdani saree!"
The BNP chief could not help but smile as she sat on the chief guest's chair donning a light blue chiffon and a grey shawl.
She usually wears georgette and chiffon sarees.
Her arch political rival Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina generally wears Jamdani, katan and tant sarees among others.
Chowdhury, speaking at a rally for 1971 freedom fighters, referred to a picture of Khaleda in Jamdani in her meeting with outgoing US ambassador Dan Mozena.
"I saw your picture wearing a Jamdani in newspaper several days ago. Today you've donned a chiffon saree.
"But your picture in Jamdani looked wonderful," he said.
