Forest green saree : something very quaint about it

It’s been a while since I came across a pretty forest green saree; even this doesn’t qualify as a great saree, but I happy to see the color being used.

Riya Sen and Raima Sen : Black & gold – white and silver

I have my reservations about the orange and gold and black and maroon saree. Not sure where does the orange fit in and where does that maroon come from. Also the gold blouse is mismatched with the gold zardosi on the saree. White and silver saree on the other hand, looks perfect.

sexy saree pose, unsexy blouse design

Sexy saree pose, but I am disappointed with the blouse design. They had zillion of things to pick from; sequins, geometrical design, bright navy blue border and they end up with a plain red blouse with gold piping.

White saree, gold zari work, long sleeve saree blouse

This is a wonderful exemplar of a long sleeve blouse; the sleeves are coordinated with the saree and blouse and the fabric is sheer but not transparent.

How not to wear a white transparent sari – with Aishwarya, Kareena, Shruthi

Everybody can make a fashion faux pas — except Aishwarya Rai — or so we thought, until we saw her in this transparent white sari with an unflattering bikini blouse underneath. There is only one way to put it — Aishwarya looks like she’s wearing a white bra under her sari!

One thing about transparent saris, especially white ones – you have to be extraordinarily careful about the kind of blouse that you wear. Too much adornment and it looks like a peep show. Too little, and the blouse begins to look like an under garment. To achieve a sexy, see-through look, the blouse has to be just right!

Aishwarya’s blouse is much too plain to wear under a highly see through sari.

This is a super transparent sari (below) with an over adorned blouse. It is ok to wear see-through, but not this much. There is a fine line between sexy peek-a-boo and just plain naked – and this sari – well, is just going – what line?

This picture of Kareen Kapoor shows that it is very hard to get the look right when wearing a super transparent white sari. In this case, the blouse looks more like an exercise bra.

So is it possible to get the see-thru white sari look right? Yes, if you take a look at Shruthi Hassan. The white sari is sheer but has embroidery to tone down the bareness. The bikini blouse is perfect. It has enough embroidery to not look like a bra, but not too much where everybody would be peering at it. By the way, is that just a strategically placed grey pearl on the sari, or does Shurthi have a pierced belly button?!

Namitha in Brammandam : Love the saree, love the blouse design

Namitha looks blended in with the nature and yet, she conveys the glamour of a bollywood movie set.

Bhumika Chawla in a gorgeous black and blue embroided saree

Love this interesting saree! It has simplicity and yet it it has richness and opulence radiating out. The blue booties on a black saree add just enough color to not have the blue border and pallu feel stark.
