scan of an interesting ethnic saree

Nice ethnic design of the saree, interesting blouse design and a great pose for a impactful fashion photography.

Forest green saree : something very quaint about it

It’s been a while since I came across a pretty forest green saree; even this doesn’t qualify as a great saree, but I happy to see the color being used.

Riya Sen and Raima Sen : Black & gold - white and silver

I have my reservations about the orange and gold and black and maroon saree. Not sure where does the orange fit in and where does that maroon come from. Also the gold blouse is mismatched with the gold zardosi on the saree. White and silver saree on the other hand, looks perfect.

saree blouse embellished with pearls and beads

The most notable thing here is the matching of earrings with the embellishment of the hanging beads on the blouse.

Normally something like that would look tacky, but because of the distinctive Brazilian bikini cut of the blouse, it works.

sexy saree pose, unsexy blouse design

Sexy saree pose, but I am disappointed with the blouse design. They had zillion of things to pick from; sequins, geometrical design, bright navy blue border and they end up with a plain red blouse with gold piping.

White saree, gold zari work, long sleeve saree blouse

white_saree+long_sleeve_nlouse

This is a wonderful exemplar of a long sleeve blouse; the sleeves are coordinated with the saree and blouse and the fabric is sheer but not transparent.

saree shop- traditional paintings

I have been neglecting Saree History and heritage it brings. Here is a start of a new series where I will periodical show paintings, mostly from 1900’s but some earlier ones, that are saree related.

And this is a great start: not just a saree, but a saree shop painting. Absolutely amazing, I’d buy that saree in a heart beat.

Also, notice the shoes on the floor - pretty nice.

Classic saree, backless & sleeveless saree blouse

This is modern classic saree.

I love saying that; saree designs offer a great opportunity to combine the old and new, traditional and contemporary, forgotten and fresh in to a new piece of six yards of life form.
