Rekha and black velvet saree
As a saree, I hate this one – choosing any fabric and making it to a saree is tempting is mostly wrong and very rarely works.
On the other hand, she looks awesome – there is certain youthfulness to her face and to her demeanor. Is it because of the saree or despite of the saree? I think saree is adding something to her sexy look and who am I to argue with results?
Shabana Azmi’s slightly better saree
After those hideous sarees, this is a definite improvement. She still hasn’t found her personal style with saree yet – please hurry up and get one or rent one.

Love the new Sri Lankan Airline Saree Uniform -iconic Kandyan Saree
Sri Lankan airlines flight stewardesses display their new attire in Colombo.
Their iconic Kandyan Saree uniform still retains its oriental charm but yet have a distinctive modern appeal and contemporary look. The new colour palette plays with the soft hues of sea blue splashed with the delicate multi-hued motifs of the peacock feather with its shimmering iridescent bursts of electric orange mottled with dark, light blue and white.
I will post some more pics of this awesome saree. This is a quadra-dose of delight for me; I love uniform sarees, I love iconic ethnic drapes, I love gorgeous peacock color combination and I think that Sri Lankan beauties are adorable!
May be risqué according to contemporary tastes, but the saree drapes are authentic
I miss Chantal Boulanger at this time. She could have commented on these drapes.
I like both of the drapes – I have seen the top one more often than the one depicted in the lower picture.
They might look a little bit risqué with modern sensibilities but the drapes are authentic for sure.
These are from a Tamil movie Devaleelai.
White Uniform Saree
I find saree uniform to be especially interesting and a very feminine way of displaying individuality but at the same time keeping the uniformity.
Wordless Wednesday – Classy
Somewhere in Gujarat, surveying the little people, a confident woman takes stock. I bet she was the MC of the event, but I’ll let saree do all the talking.
Oh NO, let me close my eyes – Shabana Azmi and hideous saree
Geeze… I love her work, but this has to stop. As I said before we should take away her license to wear a saree.
This one looks like a candy factory had an accident – bright orange with purple and valveteen and what is that green stuff?!
It hurts my eyes, and my soul to see a beautiful and accomplished woman dressed in such a hideous saree.

Hate the disjointed border on a saree
Just absolutely hate the disjointed borders on a saree! Shown at the Chennai fashion week a few weeks ago.
