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


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!


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.

If you are planning to buy a saree, keep  the following points in mind  which will help you to find the perfect saree that will enhance your beauty.

  • If you have a voluptuous body then definitely looking slim should be your topmost  priority . Therefore, you should avoid sarees with big prints as they make you look heavier. Further, you should go for Georgette, Chiffon and heavy Mysore Silk sarees. Other than beautiful and elegant look, these fabric sarees will make you look slimmer too. 
  • If you are short then you should go for sarees with small border or with no border at all.  Broad border sarees will make look even shorter and might ruin your entire appearance 
  • Tall women should purchase broad border sarees as they would provide them an elegant and classy look.
  • If your body lacks curves then you should go for Organza, Cotton and Tissue Sarees. These fabric sarees give a fuller look to thin women.
  •  To get a lovely look, dark skin color women should buy sarees with dark colors such as green, maroon & dark pink etc.
  • Keep your body type in mind while purchasing silk saree. If you are overweight then Chiffon or Georgette Silk sarees will suit you perfectly. Also heavy Mysore silk sarees are a good option. These fabric sarees enhance your beauty by giving you slimmer look.
  • One should always check the weight of silk saree. The heavier the silk is, the longer your silk sari will last.
  • Make sure you are purchasing a pure silk saree as it lasts long and gives an elegant look to its wearer. To check the purity of silk, take few threads and burn them if it leaves a black powdery residue and an unpleasant smell behind, it is pure.
  • If you are planning to get a silk saree having zari work over it, make sure the zari is pure. Otherwise, it loses its sheen and turns black, ruining the entire look of saree. Also, it is advisable  not to go for gold zari as "pure gold" zari doesn’t exist. It is basically gold coated silver wire which has silk thread in its core.
