CHIFFON: THE MATERIAL OF CHOICE FOR SWELTERING SUMMERS!

Posted on March 26, 2018 by admin

Dressing up in a fancy saree during the height of hot summers can seem like an impossible task, but not so if you’ve got a chiffon saree!

Chiffon is an airy, light and translucent fabric. It is manufactured using tightly twisted threads. Over the years, chiffon has replaced silk and cotton sarees as summer attire mainly because it is an easy-to-wear fabric and it has elegant draping. In addition, chiffon fits neatly and closely to a woman’s curves, making her look slim and graceful.

Why are Chiffon sarees so popular?

Apart from being easier to wear, chiffon sarees are also easy to manage. Cotton sarees on the other hand require starching and unless you’re an expert in wearing them, it normally requires the help of another person to be draped.
The pleats on a chiffon saree are easy to gather and need not be pressed to fall perfectly. The pleats of silk and cotton sarees must be ironed and pinned down or the wearer risks wrinkling early on!

The pallu of a chiffon saree can be styled in a number of ways. Whether pleated or falling loosely, it looks elegant. The pallu of a cotton saree cannot be left open because of the stiffness of the fabric. Although the pallu can be left as is on a silk saree, it risks fast wrinkling.
A chiffon saree can be easily worn for casual occasions or formal parties. They are also suitable to wear to the office.

Chiffon sarees suit women of all ages whereas cotton sarees are typically associated with women in their fifties.
You can opt for a chiffon saree in any print, color or embellishment. You can also opt for specific artistic designs such as Leheriya and Bandhani.

Caring for a chiffon saree is quite simple. It needs to be washed in gentle detergent and can withstand machine washing. Cotton sarees need starching to maintain their look. Silk sarees are very delicate and must therefore be dry cleaned.
Chiffon sarees can be easily dressed up with accessories such as earrings, bangles and necklaces. For a more sophisticated look, opt for a designer chiffon saree.

Now you can beat the heat this summer and still look gorgeous in a chiffon saree. Visit Indian Wedding Saree today to shop for this summer-friendly attire.

HOW TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR LEHENGA?

Posted on March 8, 2018 by admin

Lehengas are one of the most beautiful forms of Indian wear. Not only are they designed in many styles and colors, but they can be embellished and adorned in hundreds of different ways to create a customized look, that’s personal.

To customize your own lehenga, consider the following tips:

#1 Try Long Blouses

Too often, when selecting a lehenga, most women are obsessed about the design and cut of the choli. For most, the more elaboration and design it has, the better. But all these women are forgetting one important thing: most of the blouse gets hidden when you drape your top half with a dupatta. The solution is to consider a long lehenga blouse. Not only are they attractive but they also slim out your figure.

#2 Embellish with Latkans and Laces

You can take a simple lehenga and style it up with a few latkans and laces. Latkans are heavy embellishments that hang off doris on the back of the lehenga blouse. These are small embellishments with a big impact. Similarly, lace can be applied to the border of the lehenga and or the blouse to give your lehenga a regal appeal.

#3 Consider different dupatta draping styles

When you’re draping your lehenga dupatta, keep the design of your blouse and skirt in mind. For instance, if your blouse is heavily adorned and the dupatta is see-through, ensure most of the blouse is visible. There are numerous draping styles out there. It’s a matter of seeing which one will best suit your lehenga.

#4 Choose Accessories Wisely

Keep the style of dress and occasion in mind when selecting accessories. For instance, if you’re attending a wedding, you will likely want to wear a maang teeka, bangles, and heavy earrings? For a dinner party, a bracelet and simple earrings would suffice.

The lehenga style will also influence your accessory choice. For party wear lehengas, modern or contemporary style adornments are best. A traditionally embroidered lehenga would suit classic jewellery.

Don’t forget to complement your look with an appropriate purse. Again, the choice will be influenced by the lehenga and occasion. A traditional lehenga for a religious or festival occasion is best paired with a potli style purse. For a dinner party, a clutch purse is suitable.

3 UNIQUE WAYS TO DRAPE YOUR SARI STYLISHLY FOR A WEDDING FUNCTION

Posted on February 21, 2018 by admin

The sari is the ultimate choice of attire for weddings. It suits every woman, regardless of age, shape, height, and weight or skin tone. The graceful sari is a luxurious silhouette that hugs a woman’s curves, giving her a glamorous appearance. It is an ever-green closet staple that never goes out of style.

With that being said, when it comes to dressing for a wedding, most women prefer to drape their saris in the traditional style, i.e. open pallu. However, if you want to stand-out in the crowd, consider any of the following stylish ways of draping a sari over traditional saree draping for this wedding season:

#1 Conventional Drape

The phrase ‘old is gold’ truly captures the essence of this drape. The conventional drape is how saris were always draped since antiquity. It is the most suitable style of drape for religious and traditional marriage ceremonies. In the conventional drape, the sari is pleated and tucked in right below the navel. The pallu is also pleated and pinned on the shoulder. In this drape, the front pleats are noticeable and therefore must be pleated correctly. Opt for this drape style for heavily embellished saris such as Kancheepuram or zari. To complete your look, wear traditional jewelry such as a chudi set, a mangal sutra, maang tikka, etc.

#2 Double Style Drape

This draping style is currently in vogue. It requires two sarees with contrasting patterns and prints. To try this draping style, wear the first sari as you would in a conventional drape. Next, take the second sari and wear it the same way but in the reverse direction. This means the pallu of the second sari will come from the back towards the front; thus creating a double sari drape. You’ve likely seen fashionista Sonam Kapoor and Bollywood starlet Kirron Kher wearing this drape.

#3 Gujarati Style Drape

Indian Wedding SareeThis style of draping is graceful, modest and elegant. It is the ideal style for a classic wedding ceremony or a royal wedding. To wear a sari in this drape, simply take the pleated pally from the back towards the front and pin it over the right shoulder. After pinning it down, gently fan out the sari, taking care to keep the pleats intact. You may pin either end into the lower portion of your sari. This will cover the blouse portion of your attire. The Gujarati style of draping is ideal for heavily embellished or embroidered pallus.

The next time you’re getting ready for a wedding, consider wearing your sari in any of these three unique draping styles.

THE STORY OF THE ABAYA

Posted on February 2, 2018 by admin

An Abaya is a robe or cloak that is a part Muslim women’s cultural attire. It is a lose, multi-layered garment worn over top of another garment and is meant to provide coverage for the body, except for the face, head, feet and hands. This is a robe style garment that is designed to promote a woman’s modesty.

History and Origin of the Abaya

The origin of the Abaya can be traced to a verse in the Holy Qur’an. It is this verse that inspired the creation of the Abaya. This doctrine was obtained from the Hadith where it states that the Abaya must be plain and entirely black, covering the body. One of its main purposes is to make the female figure indiscernible. Secondly, because it is usually black and doesn’t have form it is meant to ward off undesired attention towards the wearer’s beauty. When and how an Abaya is to be worn is clearly defined in Muslim culture and is an important part of their heritage.

Muslim women of nomadic Bedouin tribes wear a modified form of the Abaya in order to protect themselves from the harsh conditions of the desert.

Modern versions of the traditional black Abaya include a variety of colors such as dark green, blue and grey with embellishments such as stones, embroidery and rhinestones.

Variety and Style of the Abaya

The original style of the Abaya does not change much because its main purpose is never deterred from. Within those design limits, the Abaya is modified to form a trench coat style, butterfly style and even a cross-stitch style. The designs and prints on the Abaya may vary greatly. For example, Abayas from Jammu and Kashmir may feature Kashmiri and zardozi embroidery. It may also have animal prints.

Fancy and high-end Abayas often have ribbons, lace and sequin work on it. In terms of material, Abayas are made from a wide range of fabrics such as cotton, crepe, lycra, polyester, chiffon, net, silk and georgette.

A popular way of styling the modest Abaya is by layering a colourful abaya with a black net fabric on the outside. The amount of styling will be determined by the country and the family to which the female belongs.

THE COMFY KAFTAN: A COMFY CHIC ATTIRE

Posted on January 19, 2018 by admin

It is worn in regions where temperatures can soar high during the summers. The loose and flowing nature of the kaftan permits the body to remain cool and enables air circulation.

History of the Kaftan

The earliest documented use of the kaftan was in the 14th Century during the period of the Ottoman Empire. It was initially worn only by men but because of its modesty, age appropriateness, versatility and ability to suit all body shapes and sizes, it was quickly adapted to women’s wear.

Style and Design

The kaftan is a lengthy, loose fitting garment that reaches the ankles. The sleeves are extended towards the wrist. A kaftan can be from a variety of materials such as cotton, polyester and rayon. They may feature floral prints, a fusion of various colors or more whimsical patterns. Some kaftans are simple, featuring just a single color.

Modern Interpretation of the Kaftan

Accessories

A kaftan can be accessorized according to the occasion to which it is being worn. For instance, if you’re attending a dinner party, you will likely wear a silk kaftan with heavy embroidery. In this case, wearing a pair of heels with a clutch purse would suit this attire. You would also stylize your hair and makeup accordingly.

THE KANJEEVARAM SARI: SOUTHERN INDIA’S FASHION LEGEND

Posted on December 8, 2017 by admin

The Kanjeevaram sari is a traditional attire that is woven in the village of Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu. Kanjeevaram silk saris dominate the South Indian sari market. They are the height of sophistication, suitable for any religious ceremony, occasion or wedding.

The Origin of Kanjeevaram

The King of the Chola dynasty ruled in Kanjeevaram between 985 and 1014 AD. During his reign, he started the silk trade. However when Krishna-Deva Raya took the throne in the early 15th century, the Saligars and Devangas, weaving communities from Andhra Pradesh, moved to Kanjeevaram. Their move marked a historical migration of the silk industry to Tamil Nadu.

These two weaving communities had extensive experience and knowledge of silk weaving. The Kanjeevaram sari bears patterns and designs that are seen in Hindu scriptures and on temple walls. The silk of this region continues to be highly regarded amongst other silks in the world.

Today, there are approximately 5,000 families who are directly involved in the weaving of Kanjeevaram saris.

The Making of Kanjeevaram Saris

Kanjeevaram saris are made from pure silk which is obtained from the mulberry worm. The silk is hand woven and is double wept or double warped. The warp frame has about 60 holes which is capable of weaving 240 threads. The increased number of threads in a single weave is what makes a Kanjeevaram sari so sturdy.

Each sari is finished off with a zari border in either silver or gold. For a gold border, the silver is first woven in and then it is later coated with gold.

The design of a Kanjeevaram ranges widely from stripes, checks and florals to natural motifs such as birds, animals and leaves. Many intricately made Kanchivarams feature scriptures and images from Hindu texts and South Indian temples. The pallus are woven with paintings showing depictions from the Ramayana and Mahabharata.

Depending on the intricacy of the sari design, a single Kanjeevaram sari requires up to 1 week to be woven.

The Kanjeevaram sari is the number one attire of choice for South Indian brides.
