I don’t particularly want to, but I feel obligated to show you a picture of Marshana wearing a saree that she designed.
She looks more like a caricuture then a graceful saree wearer.
Why do I torture you with such bad designs? So you may appreciate some great designs, my friend.
Riya Sen in a white chiffon sari, and itsy-bitsy glass beaded bikini blouse. For the girl who has posed in every sort of bikini possible, the sari is actually quite demure by her standards.
Eileen Cook, an author from Vancouver, wrote about her saree-accessory shopping experience and she captured many of the nuances well:
… Have you ever been to a sari store? I had a serious case of fabric lust. I bought a pair of earrings that are roughly the size of a large lighting fixture and more bracelets than a 1980’s Madonna video. We then went to A.’s seamstress who is making the sari shirt thingy (this is of course the technical term) that goes under the sari so that when it falls off we don’t flash our ta-tas at the wedding. I promise to post pictures in May. Not of my ta-tas- but of the sari.
We wish her well and are looking forward to seeing her saree pictures.
I have always lamented the loss of beautiful hats from women’s fashion; so for me to see a saree with hat combo is very special.
Most people probably won’t like it, but I find it delightfully nostalgic.
Take away the hat and you are still left with a gorgeous saree and ruffled blouse.
