How sweet! Wearing a half saree for the first time
A 13 year old looks forward to her first half saree – how sweet!
This is such a tender and important moment in any south Indian woman’s life – wearing a half saree for the first time!
Thank you for sharing this moment with us – the saree-twitter
Would you let a bride wear this? During the reception? during sagneet?
Bride and Groom event is going on at Ashoka in Delhi and not sure if this belongs there.
Saree from Inferno O9
This is one of my pet peeves; hooks that leave enough play in the seam that it looks unfastened. At times it can’t be avoided, but at other times, it just seems that the the blouse just didn’t fit right and then if there is any play in the hook placement, it will show up.
This is Snehal Gaglani in Nagpur.
From Saree to Bikini
Considering that the saree blouses are turning in to bikini tops, why not use them for that purpose?
Priety in Manish Malhotra saree
Interesting low cut saree; not sure if I particularly like it. The picture is from a recent IPL event.
Glamorous saree with large stones
A glamorous saree with placements of large stones within the embroidered borders backed with a smart olive green brocade piping and blouse to match.
How about sarees for life? Saree women helping others…
Me thinks she is unlocking the door! This is such an authentic picture.
From our sariholic friends in Checz Republic – hi everybody!
Another picture that I liked was:
Certain sweetness and charm in this picture – especially how the little boy is holding on the half-saree clad guest!
From what I can gather, the saree ladies collected close to Rs. 50,000 and sponsored meals for three days and eye exam for several children. A part of it was donated to Food for Life and they mused if it will be odd to have “sarees for life”.
Thank you ladies; you inspire us all. Here is a link to the English translation.
Over the years we have sponsored several children and have arranged for eye surgery for many dozens of elderly patients and I encourage all of you to do the same. It only costs $20 to sponser.
Bollywood – the fall of the saree pallu
In a sense, it was an element of fashion that stood the test of time on the big screen. From the subtle sexuality of Mumtaz and co in the early years, through Rekha in the ‘middle ages’, the saree has always maintained the ‘sexy’ tag draped around the lithe Bollywood beauties. For the modern face of Bollywood, the saree and its pallu have become the definition of hip and risqué. As the pallu dips from the shoulders, covering one half of the bustline, leaving ‘one for the public’ in full view, it is, but a bold expression of fashion.
Lara also wore a Gangwani creation…
She wore the pallu exactly the way Gangwani likes it…pulling the pallu tight over the middle of the bust and pinning it on the shoulder. “That drape of the sari instantly makes you look more glamorous,” says the designer.
