Lycra blouses

It has lovely embossing around the neck and sleeves. It has a smart neck-line, which enhances its elegant look. Also, the blouse is stretchable along all dimensions and hence you can get that perfect fit you desire. A truly exotic piece!

Sensuous Blouse Designs for sarees

Some very distinctive and sexy blouse design. My view is that one should make the blouses fanciful but not intricate. As you can see in the picture, for the model on the right, the design looks eye catching but it also looks as if it is not fitted right. I like to avoid creating a design that is prone to that kind of unwelcome variation.

Saree Blouse Designs – creativity for your tailor

Interesting saree blouse designs. I especially like the one on the left. It is not uncommon for the fully curved, half circle design to not fit perfectly, so I try to avoid that.

What I would like to see: Art Deco blouses

Tarun Tahiliani showed some pretty art deco T shirts a few years ago. In some situations, with the right saree, an art deco blouse would look really stunning.

This is not it, but you get the idea.

You can make love & war in a saree : Shefaliee Vasudev

From Chalo Mumbai, an interview with Shefalee Vaudev, Editor or Marie Claire.

At any given Fashion Week in India, the front row has every fashion editor worth her D&G glares, dress in the best of designer wear, most of the time, borrowed and Western.

Now, picture a Kanjeevaram-clad Shefalee seated amid the “established” dress coded, her choice of garment almost squashing every rule in the book, in effect redeeming a garment that’s inherently Indian!

“A certain section of India’s fashion fraternity doesn’t think I am fashionable, but I’d rather wear something I strongly associate with,” says the editor, who replaced the choli with a tank top, when she wore sarees in third year of college.

The 6-yard has stood by her through various jobs, as feature editor at Cosmopolitan, assistant editor at India Today, and now, editor of the Indian edition of a UK fashion magazine.

…

Why else would she not own a single “designer” saree? “They are terribly overpriced. Besides, I can’t relate to sarees trimmed with Swarovski hanging there for posterity.

I’d rather invest in a Neelambari from Benaras, or Patola from Gujarat,” says the Delhi-based editor.

I do not agree with her trepidation and complaint about the “designer saree”, I do not agree with a it a single bit but I understand it fully. One day, I will run in to her and I will explain to her the non-linear relationship between mundane, good, great, excellent and extra ordinary.

OK, a quiz for all of you saree-lovers out there:
