I am intrigued by this blouse design. Is this a “real blouse” or is it a “fashion/bollywood” blouse?
At times, for a photo shoot or something, one would take a blouse and modify it just enough to create a special look. Like, take a regular blouse, and put a bikini top on top of it..
I don’t think that is the case here. Click on it for a better view and you will see that the polka dot bikini is integrated in to the design of the blouse.
Interesting look, skimpy, without being actually skimpy.
Necklines for tops. These may not work for sarees.
Happy necking!

An interesting design for a blouse. Will go better with a lehnga, but might also work for a contemporary saree.
These designs are somewhat dated, so pause before you decide to use one of the above pattern.
But at least you can see the variations!

I know, it is tempting to have blouse designs like these, but don’t forget that you live in 2008, it’s been 101 years since the elastic bra was invented, and most women have become accustomed to it.
So don’t go out of your way to choose a design that prevents you from using the most important garment in your wardrobe.

On Tuesdays, we try to bring out an example of a good top – a blouse for a saree.
I really like this blouse design; its just string with fancy embellishments bu it shows how you can have a functional piece that is gorgeous.
This is also an example for the jewelers to mimic and innovate. Instead of making large gold pieces that haven’t changed for 1000 years, design a piece of jewelry that becomes a part of the blouse. It’s a trend and it’s a new market.

Here are some more interesting examples of saree blouse designs. The ones that I like have slight asymmetry built in the design.
Please note that the Saree is inherently asymmetric; a design that takes advantage of the asymmetry will indubitably look great!
