Liza Varma, one of the contributors to the SareeDreams, seen here with some of her friends.
Trying to think of a good caption for this – how about “9 damsels for 2009!”
Also want to take this opportunity to thank Rupa, Toni, Liza, Abhi, Misty, Kamini and others for their continued support of Saree Dreams.
Traditional Tuesday – Traditional Sarees – Photo Circa 1945

Really charming picture for sure. Love the smiles. I am puzzled at the disparate styles and the chunky accessories, especially the necklace – I wonder what occasioned this picture. But that is the beauty of old pictures – it transports you back in time – the ephemeral moment caught in time.

More saree pics from Ben Lee and Ione Skye – hindu wedding
Somebody had suggested that I should start a Firangi Friday on Saree Blog; but I don’t think that is going to happen. I welcome firangis wearing sarees but I want them to try out and wear saree because of its stylishness and versatility and not because of its exoticness.
Anyway, the family, bride and groom look great here!
Actress Ione Skye, star of the 1989 hit film Say Anything, chose a distant and colorful setting to exchange vows with Australian singer-songwriter Ben Lee: they were wed in a traditional Hindu ceremony in India on Dec. 29
About 50 of the couple’s friends and family members, including Josh Radnor from How I Met Your Mother and Skye’s older brother, Donovan Leitch, witnessed the ceremony in the village of Malaikodi, near Chennai (formerly known as Madras) on the Bay of Bengal, the Australian newspaper The Daily Telegraph reports.
The two-hour ceremony was presided over by Lee’s spiritual guru, Sakthi Narayani Amma. Following the ceremony, a reception was held at a nearby guest house with Lee’s friends the Kahn Brothers performing as the wedding band. Lee, 30, and Skye, 37, then gathered the entire wedding party to visit an orphanage and performed for the children there.
