Saree Dreams

This was released last December but it is still “new” to me, because I haven’t showcased it here.

An off white georgette saree with intricate and dense work.

silver sequins, zari, stones work can be seen on the border and on the pall.

Typically the saree with come with a matching blouse that would have some common elements of the embroidery incorporated in the saree.

PNG (PN Gadgils) are known more for the silver and gold jewelry and the latest I heard was that they are planning to open a store in Northern California by investing about $2M.

The heavy gold jewelry is becoming incompatible with the contemporary saree design.

And what do we get from the jewelers? The same old stuff - who wears these things any way?

This is an interesting lemon color saree that doesn’t seem to clash with the jewelry; at least not in this over exposed picture where you can’t even distinguish silver from gold.

I am really really mad about this!

An opportunity to show off a beautiful saree and diamonds and it is all LOST!

Look at the picture of her showing off diamonds; do you see the diamonds? NO, because the darn saree is taking away all your attention and that too not in a good way.

Who so ever thought of this combo for a diamond ad should be publicly humiliated. Nakshatra should fire him/her and get a job for him/her at a carnival designing for 2Rs jewelry store.

What a waste!

This is a remarkably beautiful saree and doned well.

We have talked about transparent sarees before and I am glad to see transparent sarees done right!

The blouse has a little too much of hand embroidery for my taste but I think it looks really nice. The matching purse is a little gimmicky, but I am not going to hold it against her.

Compare this to Aishwariya:

There is no comparison. Aishwarya’s blouse looks very unfinished and crude.

In the previous picture, the embroidery has been moved to the blouse and it looks a whole lot better!

This sounds familiar; like I have reviewed it before.

Here is a georgette saree:

Not sure if I like the blouse design for this saree. I think it deliberately toned down.
