Does this Lahenga make me look fat? Yes, dear.

unflattering lahenga

This is wrong at so many levels! The lahenga does NOTHING for her. It looks like a little potato sack tied to her waist. There is no form to it. The choli is so ill fitting that her body looks disjointed from her neck and let me go in to the awkward positioning of the embroidery on the lahenga. Tassels on the side, instead of enhancing the curves, are just adding more bulk to it.

Ill designed and improperly fitted clothing ruining a woman’s beauty bothers me a lot.

May be I should go and have a nice cup of relaxing tea before I continue.

About $800, in case you are wondering.

Ashima Leena’s antique peach saree

asheema_leena

Therich gleam of jewels shining through delicate odhanis, these garments are a sensual delight, gossamer thin silks combined with the mellowed richness of old gold brocades, muted brights, refined and restrained over and over again.

You probably can’t see it here, but there are tiny jhumkis sewn in to the saree!
