Mona – in a saree from 1937 – Saree History
Mona at her Father-in-law’s place in 1937 – dressed in a saree.
Came across a delightful Retroblog of Najm Tyabji. It is a retroblog of Mark Devereux’s grand father, who lived in India and was married to a Scottish woman, Mona.
It is a fine silk saree and looks like the blouse is more of a european style.
I am still looking for saree pictures from 1880′s- 1930′s; please send me a copy or a pointer if you find any.
