Saree Dreams

This saree embodies the spirit of mumbai.

“BOMBAY GLAM”
Pria Kataria Puri’s collection of luxury silhouettes for the Fall-Winter 2008 season is inspired by the dazzle and glitz of India’s business and glamour Capital - Mumbai city.

“The BOMBAY GLAM collection is designed especially for the numerous festivals which Indian’s celebrate towards the latter end of the year, like Diwali, Eid, Navratri, Christmas and New Year,” says Pria.

Further explaining her inspiration behind this luxurious collection, Pria says, “Mumbai is a city of endless dreams, where glamour in all forms touches each and every citizen, regardless of which strata of society they hail from. The charm of Mumbai city lies in its enthusiastic spirit that connects its people on all levels. In fact, despite the huge economic disparity prevailing in the city, its one common theme - “Glamour” - that unites them all. Whether it is Bollywood or sports or fashion, glamour is inescapable and superstars are born everyday.

Took me a minute to fully appreciate the beauty of this picture. Yes, it is taken in a shallow water but the saree is not wet, or at least the part that is visible is not wet.

I love how the jet black hair are flowing in the water, the bikini blouse with white embroidery and the saree with a think brocade border adds just the right color.

I think it would look better if less of the skin was showing but all in all this is a stunning picture.

I just absolutely love this! The collar, the “shirt” blouse, the colors, the long sleeves, the black ribbon between the collars,Just great, absolutely great!

If your eyes are used to seeing saree as sexy, then you may not like this on the first view, but saree is not just a glamour wear - it is a a regular wear and I really appreciate the Indian Navy trying to keep the tradition of uniform for the sailor in place and providing a place for a saree and respecting the tradition of the Indian women.

This is the best Saree sari picture ever!

This is so magnificent. The temple is amazing and a saree clad woman in the middle gives it a scale and splendor.

She looks like she has been transported from future and placed in 2nd century BCE in front of the temple.

A Bangladeshi women in Dhaka showing support for Bangladesh Cricket team, in a shari that has the national flag motif and gliding in her inline skates!

PS: before you write to me about the spelling of shari, it is correctly spelled as it refers to Bangladeshi attire.

This is such a delightful picture! Captures the new generation of Bangladeshi women - traditional but in a an iconoclastic way.

If you are in Bangladesh, and are looking for saree, don’t look for sari, or saree - look for sharee; just the way it is pronounced in Bangaldesh.

Please, please have some mercy on me - I am young, I have a lot to see in the world; please don’t kill me with that look; I don’t know what I did, but I profusely apologize!

Everybody else reading this blog, please, please get out of her way!

Oh darn, she is so pretty when she is angry!

Just absolutely love this picture of Rekha in a saree.

Bollywood actress Urmila Matondkar is like Hollywood’s Jennifer Aniston. You put her in a white T-shirt and she’ll still look good.

Here, Urmila glams it up in a black chiffon sari with a very detailed border set with rhinestones. The crocheted edge of the sari is also sprinkled with rhinestones. The blouse straps are set with lines of white and off-white rhinestones. The super huge danglers match the outfit to a T.

Is this the most expensive sari ever? Reputed to cost a whopping Rupees 40 lakhs ($100,000) and weigh 8 kilograms (15 lbs), the sari hand woven by Chennai silks is studded with precious stones and pays homage to Raja Ravi Verma’s paintings, including the one called “Lady Musicians” shown in the picture.
