OK, not a classic black, but contrasting pallu and rich design

Classic looking crepe saree is beautifully designed in most popular black color with attached contrast border. Fascinating printed pallu is radiating elegance. Embellish yourself with this appealing outfit.

From Sareemax, about $60.

Is this a saree? I don’t think so but it could have been! Gorgeous composition

Absolutely great composition for a fashion photography.

I regret that in saree trade we don’t use more of a creative way of displaying the sarees; its always the same old same old, woman wearing a ton of jewelry, with perfect pleats and fake smile on her face.

I have seen some interesting compositions but not enough. Like here.

In advertisement, sometimes you need to show the details of the design, and other times you need to show the dream of the design.

A a lot of women don’t feel comfortable with it and it is a bit of a work, but I do posit that combining colored contact lenses with similar colored saree would make an outfit go from fabulous to stunning.

You might think that its just a little speck of color in the eye, how can it make a tremendous difference in how the saree would look. But believe you me, when people see you, they see your eyes, they pierce in to it and matching your saree ensemble to the contact lense color can do magic.

I think it has a stronger impact then changing the color of your hair.

A couple of years ago, as a present, a got a set of 10 colors of contact lenses for a dear friend of mine. The colors ranged from light gray to emerald green to dark blue. Because of her deep dark eyes, the lighter colored contact lenses didn’t make a much of difference, but when she put on dark green and dark blue contacts, she looked so stunning, so beautiful, so exotic and so alluring. The change was subtle, but it was hypnotic.

Try it out sometimes, you won’t regret it!
