Sarees have known to exist since time immemorial and historical records tell us that the evolution of such attires began some time during the Indus Valley Civilization. One can easily proclaim that Indian Designer Sarees are one of India’s greatest exports and are now being retailed in countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Mauritius, Maldives and many more.

Online saree portals report a large number of enquiries from these places. Higher familiarity with online transactions in the developed world has led to a high number of overseas orders being requested by customers from US, UK and parts of Western Europe. This also explains why we see free shipping offers during the festive season. Not just sarees, other Indian traditional dresses like pink lenghas, Viscose Lehengas are also in high demand. And why wouldn’t they, just look how stunning the girl here in a multi-color Viscose lehenga that looks stunning!

It’s a well known fact that we are drawn to colors that we identify with and those which help us create a balance in our lives. There is a color for every occasion and you should always try and wear a sari that seems appropriate for the occasion. Moreover, you need to have matching accessories that should compliment the color of your saree to make your ensemble complete. Just see how elegant Esha Deol looks in this deep purple saree that she wore for Fardeen Khan’s wedding and you will realize how important it is to get the right accessories that match with your wardrobe perfectly.

A little bit of attention to your wardrobe is all you need to get that right look. A baby pink saree shouldn’t be worn while attending a funeral and similar common sense rules apply for other colors. In most cases, you will get to know the right color for the right occasion intuitively but in some cases if you are confused then you can take the help of a family member or you can use the World Wide Web to guide you in your decisions.

Some Smart tips to preserve your favorite Cotton Sarees and Chiffon Sarees

2011-04-07T05:18:00.001-07:00

Every woman loves to have a large number of sarees in her collection. Other than pleasure, this gives you worry too as maintaining a large gamut of Chiffon Sarees and Cotton Sarees is not that easy. One is supposed to take extra precaution while washing and ironing them. Negligence can prove you costly as it might affect the sheen of saree and can cause serious damage to them. So, if you want your favorite saree to be in your collection for a longer duration, follow some smart and easy tips.

The most important thing that one should keep in mind while washing cotton sarees is that these should always be washed separately. The color fading with every wash might spoil other clothes too. Also, avoid immersing them in water for long. Even leaving cotton sarees in the sun light might lead to color fading. The best way to retain their color is to starch them after every wash.

Equal amount of care is required during the laundering process of Chiffon Sarees. If you choose to give them a hand wash at home, avoid twisting it. During the hand wash process, just sink the sarees in water, swirl them lighly and then gently squeeze out the water and hang them for drying. Moreover, one should never wrap them too tightly and should also avoid using saree pins as they might tear their fabric.

Smart tips to preserve your favorite sarees !!

Sarees are an implicit part of Indian tradition and women love to have a collection of sarees that will suit their body frame perfectly. If you are a saree lover then there is a possibility that every saree you buy has a certain set of memories attached and this makes your sarees even more special to you. Thus, if you are a smart buyer then you will realize the true importance of money and will make sure that you maintain your saree collection in a perfect condition.

Always keep a good glass tissue saree ready as it will prove handy if you have to attend any party suddenly. Cotton and organza sarees also look elegant and classy but are a bit difficult to maintain. The only flaw in these sarees is that their color starts fading after every wash. So, if you want them to last longer, always starch them after every wash. It will help these sarees to retain their shine for a longer duration.
As far as maintenance of pure georgette or glass tissue sarees is concerned, the important thing that one should keep in mind is that these sarees should always be dry-cleaned. Machine wash or hand-wash can cause serious wear and tear as the fabric might get twisted with these methods. Also, never hang these sarees in cupboard as it will bring unwanted crease on these sarees. The better approach is to keep them folded in a saree cover inside a drawer. Also, keep changing its folds from time to time as keeping them in folded in one particular position can cause the same problem of unwanted creases, wear and tear.

Fed up of pleating a saree? Try a Wedding Lehenga Saree instead!

2011-03-22T22:47:00.000-07:00

Most apparel merchants admit that white and red sarees are perhaps the hottest selling products in the catalogue. White sarees add a dash of elegance and are quite appropriate for solemn occasions while red being a strong, popular colour looks quite appropriate for weddings, reception parties and similar such occasions.

However, those of you who find draping a traditional Indian saree one big chore should try a wedding lehenga saree that takes away all the hassle of wearing a saree.Being the perfect blend of a traditional saree and a lehenga choli, a wedding lehenga saree is the perfect party wear saree that is stitched to precise measurements as a long flared skirt having a zip at the side. All one needs to do is to slip in the saree, fasten the zipper and drape the open end (known as pallu) over the shoulders.

This type of saree is very convenient and offers users the freedom from the usual draping and pleating that a regular saree entails. Just as a traditional saree, even a wedding lehenga saree is also worn over a petticoat (an undergarment) along with a designer blouse called as the choli which serves at the upper garment. One can choose to wear a halter neck, deep neck, or ‘backless’ blouse along with these sarees. However, blouses embellished with beads, mirrors or kundan look very elegant along with these wedding lehenga sarees and one should take appropriate care to choose a blouse with matches the design of the saree perfectly.

A wedding lehenga is the centre-piece of any woman’s wardrobe. Women always desire a perfect lehenga which will make her look like a princess. So, if you want to purchase the best lehenga for yourself, then you should first acquire an adequate knowledge about all kinds of lehengas available in the market.

One should choose lehengas keeping in mind one’s body type. Curvaceous woman should go for the fish cut or a straight cut lehengas as they would give her a slimmer look. On the other hand, women who are thin should wear A-line or flared lehengas as they will make them look fuller. Also, one should not ignore the comfort factor as it is as important as style.

Women who have a dusky complexion should choose dark colours like purple, deep blue and similar such colours as these colors will complement their skin tone. A velvet lehenga is a perfect pick if you want to purchase a dark color lehenga as it is a fine blend of style, panache and comfort. You can buy a perfect wedding bridal lehenga made of velvet from online stores as they offer a wide variety in designs and also assure timely doorstep deliveries.

Often considered the centerpiece of a woman’s wardrobe, an Indian Benarasi Sarees lends an incredible amount of beauty, grace and grandeur to any woman’s silhoutte. The price tag attached to these sarees often reflects the amount of effort that has gone into its manufacture. The more the embellishments and embroidery a Benarasi saree is adorned with, the higher price it commands.

Ever heard of a Terry Voile Salwar kameez?

2011-03-15T02:30:00.000-07:00

If you are bored of wearing saris and desire to try something different this time then I suggest you try a terry voile salwar kameez today. Before going about purchasing a terry voile salwar kameez, you should understand what a terry voile salwar kameez fabric actually is. Made of a special fabric that consists of 2/81 high twisted fabric in 67:33 blends that is later carborised (subjected to intense heat) to yield 100% polyster fabric, terry voile is the perfect wash and wear fabric which requires very little ironing. It is the ideal salwar kameez fabric that is highly sought after by women for both casual wear and office wear purposes. Terry Voile salwar kameez fabric enjoys enormous popularity among women in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh and the most sought after designs amongst Terri Voile Salwar Kameez are the ones which have divergent patch work at neck and sleeve ends that add a touch of elegance to the overall ensemble.

However, if you are looking to buy a salwar kameez for a special occasion then a wedding chiffon salwar kameez would be the best. A wedding chiffon salwar kameez is an evolved cousin of the ordinary salwar kameez that consisted of a plain kameez and dupatta and is desired by women who want to wear something comfortable and classy. One can choose from a wide range of embroidery options for their chiffon salwar kameez whether it is Aabla, Zardosi, Badla, Aari, Dabka, Cut-Dana, Resham, Sequins or Beads. Considered a legacy of the Mughal era, a wedding chiffon salwar kameez lends an altogether different charm to a woman’s silhouette. Very often you will find that a wedding chiffon salwar kameez has intricate designs and patterns that reflect the artistic excellence of the craftsmen who produce such high quality designs.

Velvette or Viscose --Which one will you try today?

2011-03-02T21:02:00.000-08:00

Wondering what to wear for your friend’s wedding on the impending weekend? We suggest you look out for traditional dresses or online Indian sarees from any web portal that caters to Indian tastes and sensibilities. The basic rule of thumb remains the same while buying sarees either from an online store or a showroom. You need to keep your height, skin colour and body type in mind while choosing the right saree. Paying attention to detail helps if you want to get the best value for money in the long run. However, a great majority of women falter on this count and tend to buy what they like instead of buying what is good for them. The net result is that most women feel that they have made the wrong choice and opt for other kinds of traditional wear like lehenga cholis or salwar suits in their next purchase.

Velvette Sarees

Velvette, as a fabric, holds a lot of charm for women. The soft, smooth texture and radiance of this fabric has endeared it to women for centuries. With the increasing popularity of soap operas, Velvette Sarees have gained prominence as most female television actors choose to wear velvet sarees that have endeared them to television audiences owing to their radiance and appeal.Whichever saree you choose to wear keep in mind if you have a shorter frame, you should opt for narrow borders and broad borders if you have a tall, slender frame.

Viscose Sarees

Viscose Sarees are essentially made of rayon, a fabric made of artificial fibres that has open pores which enable the fabric to breathe easily making it the ideal fabric for hot and sultry weather of the Indian subcontinent. Another notable aspect of the Viscose fabric is that it dyes quite easily and effectively retains its color which is the main reason why it is used for printed sarees.Viscose Sarees can easily be dyed in the brightest of colors and the fact that they drape quite easily make it a highly sought after option among women. A Zari woven viscose fabric is something that you should try out at least once.

If you keep in mind the above mentioned facts, you will surely end up buying a sari that is a perfect blend of comfort and style and get the maximum bang for your apparel spends.

Impress your man! Wear a ‘Mumtaz-Style’ Sari tonight!

2011-02-27T22:46:00.000-08:00

The Mumtaz Style of wearing a saree still has many takers as the leading lady of Bollywood inspired the imagination of millions of young women with her unique saree-draping style that became a trademark in itself. The glittering navel-revealing saree that she wore in the movie ‘Brahmachari’ was quite well received and became a rage among young women in the 1960s & 70s.

In my opinion, the high number of searches that occur frequently in any search engine for learning the style of wearing a ‘Mumtaz-style’ saree is proof of the fact that the leading lady made an indelible imprint on the fashion consciousness of an entire generation. Mumtaz almost patented this style of draping a saree and it also stamped her entry into Bollywood as one of the leading ladies of Indian cinema.

Complimented with a small sleeveless blouse, the Mumtaz-style sari is tightly draped around the body in such a style that the pleats are avoided altogether and it hugs the body like a second skin, accentuating the curves of the female wearing it. In the Mumtaz-style drape, essentially one drapes the pallu twice over. The pleats are not exactly done away with, but yes they are less. The pallu is very short; it covers the bosom but is more tightly gathered (not pleated but gathered) & brooched on the left shoulder with little over six inches of pallu.The Mumtaz style sari is quite good for sarees having heavy or embroidered borders. It is one of the most innovative ways to wear a traditional Indian saree, though I would not recommend it this type of a drape for a ‘wedding saree’

However, there are certain colors which you should keep in mind while opting for a ‘Mumtaz-style’ drape. Although you can wear any color saree in this style but certain colors like orange, pink, turquoise blue or any other light color would do justice to this type of drape. Light colors would not only make you look slim but also look quite classy as well. I would recommend the ‘Mumtaz-Style drape’ to ladies who have the perfect curves in the right places as there is no other Indian style saree drape be it the Maharani style, Devdas style, Indo-western style that can highlight the female form as much as the ‘Mumtaz Style’ drape can.

Try out the ‘Mumtaz-style’ drape today and be prepared for those admiring glances that are sure to come your way.

Helpful tips to preserve sarees!

2011-02-22T21:22:00.000-08:00

Taking care of expensive sarees requires a great amount of care and patience on behalf of the buyer. In the following passages, I have shared some valuable tips for maintaining Designer and Party Wear sarees made of Cotton, Chiffon Silk and Georgette with minimum investments in terms of time, money and energy.

* Cotton Sarees

As a rule of thumb, cotton saris should always be washed separately as their colour starts spreading with each subsequent wash that might spoil other clothes as well. Immersing saris in water for long periods of time or drying them in scorching heat can also lead to color fading. Starching Cotton Saris after each subsequent wash helps in color retention.

* Chiffon Sarees

Chiffon Sarees also require care and maintenance just as cotton sarees do especially during the laundering process. One should avoid twisting the sarees during the hand-wash process, instead the sarees should be swirled under a sink during the washing process and pressed gently to squeeze out all the water and hung dry. Moreover, they should not be wrapped too tightly and one should avoid using sari pins as it might tear the fabric.

* Silk Sarees

Silk saris are not only the most expensive element of any collection but they are also the most delicate to maintain. To remove any kind of dirt or stain from silk saris, one should opt for dry-cleaning as hand-wash/machine-wash may strain the fabric. Saris having heavy zari or embroidered borders should not be hung for long as their fabric can get strained and may ultimately tear. While ironing these silk sarees, one should always take note of the temperature as extra heat can burn the fabric.

* Georgette Sarees

Georgette saris being highly vulnerable to tear tend to lose their shape if kept hanging for a long time. It is advisable to refold these sarees from time to time as tears start appearing on creases if they remain folded in the same position for a long time.

I hope these tips prove to be very useful in maintaining your designer and party wear sarees in perfect condition for a long time to come

Handy Tips To Preserve Your Saree Collection!

2011-02-20T22:09:00.000-08:00

Sarees are integral part of India’s cultural mores and tradition and most Indian women tend to stock up sarees that suit their body type perfectly. Every saree that you buy or which has been gifted to you may have a certain set of memories attached to it. As a value conscious buyer, you would have definitely spent a substantial amount of money in purchasing net sarees or pure georgette sarees. But selecting and buying sarees is one thing and maintaining them in perfect condition for long periods of time is an altogether different ballgame.

Keeping aside your favourite Glass Tissue Sarees to be used on special occasions is a good way to avoid last minute panic before any event or function. It will also help you save yourself from a lot of hassle. If cotton saris occupy a substantial portion of your collection, then you should keep in mind that though they are easy to wear and handle, they come with one inherent flaw i.e. their color begins to disperse and it can lead to color fading. Cotton and Organza sarees may look quite classy and elegant but are difficult to maintain. Starching these sarees after each wash will ensure that these saris retain their shine for long periods of time.

When it comes to maintaining expensive sarees made from pure georgette or glass tissue, an important thing to keep in mind is that they should not to subjected to hand-wash or machine wash as that might twist the fabric causing unwanted wear and tear. Once these sarees have been dry-cleaned they should not be hanged in a cupboard as that might bear some unwanted creases on the fabric. A better approach would be to fold these sarees in a saree cover and place them in a drawer with some naphthalene balls to prevent moths from infesting in the cupboard. One should fold and re-fold these sarees from time to time as keeping them folded in one position for long periods of time will again bear the prospect of unwanted tears along the line of the fold.

Adhering to these general rules will help you retain your sarees for long periods of time and even pass it on to your daughter.

Gahgra cholis are worn on the wedding day or for the reception. The dress is very elaborate and gorgeous and makes the wearer look truly stunning.

Designs in silk, raw silk, cotton prints, georgettes, tissues and chiffons are in high demand.

The blend of conventional and modern designs serves to highlight this beauty even more.

The salwar kameez is widely regarded as the most comfortable of all Indian garments. The variation in styles allows easy movement as well as versatility. Once the proper fabric for the suit is chosen, it is time for the artisan to display his handiwork. Hand worked fabrics are those which are embroidered or embellished using manual skills. Flawless hand embroidery requires a lot of dexterity and patience. India is famous for it’s regional styles of needlework and has numerous artisans all over the country who are experts in provincial embroidery work.

The most widely preferred of all Indian needlecraft is the renowned Lucknowi chikankari. Chikankari salwar kurtas are very popular because of their elegant style as well as the comfort factor. Chikankari is also practiced in Rampur and Agra, both of which are well known too. Chikankari work consists of delicate floral designs stitched onto fine cotton or muslin cloth. Other than chikankari, the hand painted designs and Jamdani weave of Faizabad is also quite admired.

Among the prominent embroidery styles of northern india, the Punjabi ‘phulkari’ is widely practiced. ‘Phulkari’ which means growing flowers, is practiced by Punjabi women and can trace its origins as far back as the Vedic ages. ‘Phulkari’ work is done using silk floss on ‘khadi’. The stitching is complicated as a single thread is used at a time and worked in various directions to achieve the light and shadow effect. Chope, ghunghat bagh, suber, darshan-dwaar and chamba are some of the common ‘phulkari’ styles.

Eastern India is famed for its Bengali ‘kantha’ stitch, especially on wedding sarees. The various styles of ‘kantha’ stitching include sujni kantha, archilata kantha, durjani kantha and rumal kantha. ‘Kantha’ stitch is basically running stitch cleverly sewn to resemble various motifs. The style of stitching varies from the simple style to the mat style, maze style and tessellation style. Neighbor Sikkim on the other hand is recognized for its leather appliqués.

The designs are copied onto the fabric and then thread is traced over the outline. This method is borrowed from the technique of cot making. It enables artisans the freedom to use both hands thus increasing speed and expertise. Once the designs are overlaid with thread, beads, sequins and gold or silver wires are used for further embellishment giving the finished product a rich look.

Indian needlework has always attracted connoisseurs from around the world with its distinctive style and the level of skill shown by artisans. The art of this embroidery are passed on from one generation to another and always leaves people awestruck at the beautiful designs.

Indo-Western Trends in Salwar Kameez

2010-01-25T03:55:00.000-08:00

Westernization is at its, zenith touching all aspects of the Indian way of life. So why should the humble Indian Salwar Kameez be left behind which is donned on by a majority of the females in India, from the mustard fields of Chandigarh to the desert region of Rajasthan. So, what is Indo-Western trends in Salwar Kameez ?

And if you thought this indo-western trend in salwar kameez won’t go down well with Indian women then look around you. The first mark of this indo-western trend in salwar kameez is the absence of the dupatta or the scarf, which is worn and carried differently by different women. If it has not totally disappeared, then it has lost considerable length in terms of meters. As per the Indian Salwar kameez trends of yester-years, the dupatta was an inescapable part of any salwar kameez ensemble.

It still is considered vital by a certain section and can’t be hailed as the only way of adapting to the Indo-western trends in Salwar Kameez. Sleeveless tunics, strap and spaghetti sleeved tunics worn over traditional Indian Pajamas and carried with a dupatta have been around for a decade now and are still in vogue, only that now they are worn over slacks or what most people call 'legging', which Wikipedia defines as "fitted, long tapering garments to cover the legs".

Indian Standards once considered these leggings immodest but thanks to the Western Salwar Kameez trends, they have become the most sought after piece of clothing in India. Everyone, from a teenage girl to a homemaker to a female corporate executive is considering leggings as a comfortable option to couple up with the kurta or the kurti.

Interestingly, though many of us are familiar with the Indian Salwar Kameez Trends, we are often found to be at a loss when it comes to differentiating between the two i.e. the kurta and the kurti. Well, the only difference is that the kurti is shorter and at present reaches just below the hip. And Yes! u guessed it right. It is another mark of indo western trends in salwar kameez.

One could see the impact of western trend in salwar kameez with empire-neck tunics and tunics with a centre yoke, worn over pajamas or leggings, making a foray into the Indian Market and take it virtually by storm. This western trend in salwar kameez shouldn’t come as a surprise, after all the foreigners are known to have been enchanted with vibrant colors, for which Indians have a fetish, since ages. They have modified the Indian Clothing to suit themselves - they made a tunic, which was a mix of Lycra and cotton that gave the quintessential feminine look that every female aspires for.

The Indians picked up these western trends and combined it with their age old ones, thus giving rise to the indo-western trends in salwar kameez, which is here to stay for atleast two to three years, thanks to the flexibility it has provided the Indian Woman in terms of design, cut, color and fabric.

Indian Pavada Or Half Sarees - The Fading Tradition Of The South

2009-10-28T03:02:00.000-07:00

The half-saree of south India is very age-specific, unlike the saree or the salwar-kameez. It solely belongs to the young generation and no woman past her teens would generally wear it. The half-saree scripts a sartorial evolution from girlhood to womanhood. It combines the feistiness of a girl with the feminine elegance of a young woman. That is one cause possibly why south Indian filmmakers are rediscovering the half-saree, giving the piece of clothing a fresh lease of life.

Half Saree was very common among young girls of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Full skirt, short blouse and a davani (shawl) constitutes this dressing style. It is considered to be originated in Tamil Nadu, but is very commonly used in Kerala till about 30 years back. These days with all contemporary fashions, half saree has almost entirely disappeared among Kerala girls.

If the songs, `Pavada prayathil' and `Pavadai davaniyil', were to be written at present, the lyrics would not be the same anymore, for, the pavada is almost missing from the Malayali girl's wardrobe. In Kerala, only the `audacious’ wore the salwar kurta two decades ago. The foray of the electronic media and salwar kurtas found their way into the hearts of Malayali girls. If you want to see Malayali girls in pattu pavada-blouse sets in our day, then you have to be invited to a marriage ceremony. Or you should stopover a temple or wait for November 1 (Kerala Piravi Day).

Traditionalists, however, need not fret. A few still favor the Indian pavada. Young girls are still getting pavadas stitched. But it's impractical to think that pavada will be worn as it used to be 15 to 20 years ago. But things now have enhanced from the way it was five years ago, when the pavada or the half sari was barely seen. Wearing pavada and blouse in everyday life is very uncomfortable and tiresome. Getting on and off buses, in weighty pavadas, is very difficult. It is an ornamental outfit, and not a functional one. Hence, it is best to wear it on choice occasions. Most people buy it only once a year, during Onam, and that's the only time it is hugely worn.

Even mothers don't want to compel their daughters to wear the Indian pavada today. Of course, the pavada is very gorgeous and traditional and mothers, however, would love to see their daughters wear the pavada-blouse often. It gives a certain distinguished look to the teenager. Just as the sari has displaced the mundum neriaythum, salwar kurtas have replaced the pavada – blouse. Pavada often means the pattu pavada, stitched in shimmering Kancheevaram. For some people the pavada is made in no other material. The flamboyance is part of the fashion statement it makes. But Pavadas in printed georgette or other synthetic fabrics, which make good formal as well as casual wear, were admired even a decade ago.

Some girls dislike the pavada because it is "revealing". "With salwar kurta, are worn with dupattas. But what can be worn with a pavada-blouse set? Even a half sari can appear revealing if not worn properly. As far as dressing is concerned, Hindi films and TV channels are the bibles for youngsters. At some point, the pavada did become the apparel of the not-so-modern heroine, the village belle. But even in this case, it was a singular version of the pavada -- a cross between the north Indian ghagra/lehenga and our conventional pavada. Aishwarya Rai and Sreedevi were seen wearing it in `Kandukonden Kandukonden' and `Devaragam' respectively. And they indeed looked stunning.

Designers are sensible when they say that we cannot imagine the pavada to make a comeback. To the modern girl, it is indeed a formal dress. One aspect that works to the benefit of the Indian pavada is that it can be tailored and improvised to suit the wearer's taste. This encourages young women to check it out. The girls are keen on adding current elements to the conventional design. That is, they want the half sari to be embellished or the blouse to be embroidered. The designers acknowledge that the Indian pavada has become a costume, almost a `uniform' for precise occasions like south Indian weddings or festivals like onam. There's something traditional and beautiful about the dress. It seems to bear the spirit of the south Indian culture.

The shoulder could be puffed, piped, frilled or laced. There is the open-back style, where the blouse needs to be string tied. It could be buttoned on the front or on the back. Nowadays, the pull –on blouses, that are not hooked, buttoned or stringed, are also in vogue. They are stretchable. Traditional sarees are usually coupled with bordered, embroidered and stringed blouses. The party wears are usually bettered by spaghettis and shoulder-less ones.

Saree – Beautiful and Beautifying Down the Ages

2009-06-26T00:51:00.000-07:00

Turning the pages of history, one would find that saree has always made its presence felt. In every civilization, age or generation, woman of the eastern world have always revealed her true grace in a saree. A saree has always veiled her shyness, and expressed her dignity.

A sari is probably the most lengthy of the garments. The fact that it is unstitched, allows the artisan to use the entire dimension. The base tells a story and the borders draw the conclusions! The blouse adds to the final finish.

It is a panoramic. It can carry prints, machine embroideries and handworks. It can be worn in various ways to display the most prominently ornamented portions of the length. There is the simple style where the ‘aanchal’ or ‘pallu’ is pleated and tucked onto the left shoulder. This is mostly for young or modern women. The older generation might take the ‘aanchal’ up from behind, allow it to come in front over the right shoulder and fix the loose end on the left waist. There is yet another style preferred by the women of Bengal and Orissa in India and also Bangladesh.

In this the skirt is left non-pleated. There is a simple enwrapping. The ‘aanchal’ is left hanging over the left shoulder, at times a bunch of keys knotted on the end.

Again, in parties or weddings, the aanchal is left non-pleated to display work, if it is a saree with heavy embroideries and embellishments.

So a saree can be stylized and fashioned in every way. It can be the best friend of woman who adheres to tradition as well as the woman who changes her preferences with the changing fashions, or one who is bold enough to make her own style statement – a trend-setter. It veils a shy woman and reveals the bold beauty. Saree is ever beautiful and beautifying. It is hand-in-hand with history and heritage yet can bring a fresh lease whenever woman desires a new look.

Salwar Kameez and the Comfort Factor

2009-06-22T03:36:00.001-07:00

Once the right fabric prepares the base for the artisan, the real play begins with his handwork. By handwork, it is meant that it is not0 machine embroidered. The work is done with manual labor and patience. India has a great many number of embroidery styles having their roots in different provinces. The most common for salwars and kurtis, is the chikkankari of Lucknow, Rampur and Agra. Fine threads are used to embroider floral patterns usually cotton cloth. Hand-painting and Jamdani weave are the specialization of Faizabad.

Moving to the north of India, the embroidery most prominently practiced by the women of Punjab is the ‘phulkari’. ‘Phulkari’ means growing of flowers. It dates back to the vedic ages. There is the use of silk floss on simple Khadi cloth. Stitching done in different directions brings out the light-and-shadow effect. Some of the different styles of Phulkari are – chope, ghunghat bagh, suber, darshan-dwaar and chamba. In Bengal there is the famous Kantha Stitch that is mostly thought of in association with wedding sarees. The variations are – sujni kantha, archilata kantha, durjani kantha and rumal kantha. The run stitches are of various types. For example simple, mat style, maze style and tessellation style. Mirror-work over multi-colored thread embroidery is the contribution of the western India. It looks very colorful and befitting the gypsy culture where people enjoy wandering, singing and dancing in groups. There is the enigmatic jaali work of Jodhpur. Rajasthan has given to us the art of block printing and tie-and die (baandhni).Places in and around Indore and Bhopal are renowned for their Zari and leather appliqué works; Sikkim, for leather appliqué.

The Aari or Zardosi embroidery has been in India since the Mughal regime (15th century). ‘Aar’ means needle. The zardosi stitch requires a wooden frame in order to keep the cotton cloth fixed and fully stretched so that the designs on paper can be traced and thereafter the needle could be firmly pushed through the cloth. The concept is borrowed from the idea of a stretched cot or khatia. This enables the craftsman to use both hands with adroitness and speed. After this work, beads, sequins or fine wires of real gold and silver are used for ornamentation.

Indian embroidery and artistry has always been seducing people from different corners of the world with its colors, individualities and ability to leave the gazers awe-struck at the skill which has come down from one generation to the other without a loosening of the chords of tradition.
