Indian wedding cake topper – complete with saree clad bride

This is too cute to pass up.

A beautiful mix of the traditional and the contemporary. This traditional Indian Bride, with henna and bindi details, is dressed in a beautiful sari and paired with her groom in a clean sophisticated black suit.

Hmm, shouldn’t the bride be wearing red for hindu wedding? Yup, if she chooses to serve cake at the wedding with a topper on it, she might use this instead.

Givenchy Sari Collection

Sorry to disappoint you .. it is indeed a sari collection but it is a make up line and not sari line…

Inspired by the sensual and refined beauty of Indian women, this precious collection offers touches of bright, joyful oranges and pinks that are evocative of the culture’s ornate clothing and makeup. Together, the sultry shades create a seductive look expressed through a soft healthy complexion, sensual lips, and—most of all—intense, magnetic eyes.

Same sarees, four colors, three different drapes

Click for a better view.

Beautifully done. – most saree vendors forget to show off the saree in different colors and how they will look in different drapes. Modern marketing and sales techniques applied to traditional clothing.

I love the image of four women in same sarees with different colors and different drapes. Nicely done by Bombay Looks Direct in London. Kudos.

<rant> Why do they feel OBLIGATED to put bindis on every model; like the model will stop breathing or her soul will leak out if she is not wearing a bindi or something. Jeeez! Here are four beautiful women in a saree and suddenly they start to look like little caricature of desi women!</end rant>

Soft laser sequence cut dana border. Latkans in paloo. All sarees come with stitched blouse size 38. Sarees are about $50 each – $50.01 if you want bindis with it.

Is it a must to install saree guard on your bike?

YES, YES, YES AND YES.

If you go by the RTO rule and regulations it is mandatory.

all the motor cycle should be fitted with Saree Guard and number.

Besides, I have seen sometimes how a saree guard can be useful, including a skid launching an avenger with no saree guard very near to me, because the lady’s dupatta caught hold of the tyre. So if you plan to get any lady in kurta/saree, think twice before removing it.

One of the reasons guys like to ride bikes is to impress the ladies. Does it even make sense to have a bike where you would put their life in danger if they came close to you?

expensive saree doll from 1985 : about $1500-$2000

1985 Sasha Black Hair Sarei – Trendon Toys – Trendon Limited.

A very rare doll.

This was one of the limited edition dolls made by the Trendon Company and the current value of the doll is about $1,500-$2,000 and is very hard to find.

I am not too excited about it because the value of the doll is not coming from the saree or its design; it is highly valued because the Trendon made so few of these and they are rare.

Elegant half saree – retro look in vogue

Why would you call this a retro look?

pavadai thavani in Tamil Nadu, Pawadai-chattai at other places, or just as half saree is coming back.

Saree Petticoat

I have always maintained that the petticoat is one of the most under appreciated part of the saree ensemble.

I am hoping that this decade will see some innovation in the petticoat design to make it more versatile and more comfortable.
