I am pretty sure this is Ritu Beri design!

Wished I could see the frills a little more clearly.

But it is distinctive for sure.

I <3 Ritu – saw her interview other day and she is glowing in the joy of motherhood.

I can’t wait to see her design for the AirIndia hostesses!

This is a digital version of a saree for use in the digital world of Sims 2. Click for a larger prettier and detailed view.

The creator is AlbusDumbledore, an 18 year old creative young man, studying fashion. We wish him well; hope he makes the best saree designs ever.

(Editor’s note: In an earlier version of this post, we misidentified the creator, and we deeply apologize for it)

OK folks, if you really have a gorgeous saree that you want to show off, do not use a vilayati mannequin with short golden hair and please, please, I beg you, to put a darn blouse on the mannequin.

Don’t show a saree like this, especially if costs Rs 20,000 ($425).

This picture is wrong from so many angles; it hurts my eyes to even look at it.
