 Sari is
known as the traditional clothing for females in India and it is the essential part
of national culture. Sari is often used by European women for fun and for
thematic parties for exotic look and as the approach to consider and touch the
ethnic culture that is trendy. Fashion designers who seek for new concepts and
fresh ideas find sari suitable to experiment and realize all outspoken
solutions. Sari is used to add some unique and vivid look to the image, though it
is not the clothing for everyday life and this is obvious for many.
India is the country with the century-old
traditions and most women have lots of sari as every day wear, different from
occasion to occasion, by the way. Sari is the touch to the culture, and
moreover, a woman looks incredibly feminine and attractive in sari. This garment
is not considered as the capsule where the Indian woman has to hide her body if
she is born in that country. This is a cloth of fabric draped around the female
body in an intricate way which makes a woman attractive falling down the body
shapes and floating with every single movement. This is all secret about the
sari in other corners of the world. Sari is like a delicate tunic to wear with
the purpose to accentuate the natural grace, femininity and sexual appeal.
When not worn,
a sari is a one-piece cloth of textile. The fabric of one meter in width is
usually about twelve meters in length. Sari has not been that long all the times. It was far more complicated in ancient times.
That could seem astonishing but several centuries ago the Indian women put on
sari on naked body. One the one hand, it is far away from stable moral traditions
and basis of the nation, and on the other hand, this again shows the thirst for
the sexual attractiveness leaving men touched and caring.
Sari is
depicted in one of the Indian legends which tell about the negligent ruler
Pandava who was the passionate dicer and who lost all his property including
his beloved wife Draupadi. The winners demanded that Draupadi
got naked and then one of winners tried to strip Draupadi of her
sari. Draupadi prayed to Krishna to protect
her and when her sari was unwrapped layers by layers, her sari kept getting
extended.
Traditionally sari is made from various fabrics.
It can come as cotton for poor
people and silk for richer women, ad embroidered with precious stones at
the edge
on the top of it. Today sari is put on over the petticoat which is a
waist-to-floor garment, tied tightly at the waist and a tight-fitting
blouse which
should be of the same color as the sari to keep the harmony in color.
The Indian
women know the twelve approaches to put on sari, though most trendy method is
nivi as classical and universal. The sari is tucked with
its plain end into the petticoat, a little bit to the right of the navel. The
lower end of the sari should be long to touch the floor. Then wrap the sari
around again when sari comes back in front, on your right side. Tuck the pleats
into the petticoat, in the manner when they open to the left of you. Drape the remaining fabric
around once more from left to right, and bring it round your thighs to the
front, holding the top edge of the sari. Raise the remaining end of the sari on
the back to bring it up under the right arm and over the left shoulder. The end
is draped, from the left shoulder onwards called the Pallu. The end can be
fastened to the blouse to prevent from slipping off the shoulder.
Sari is
regularly employed in fashion collections of European designers when from time
to time couturiers show their longing for the ethnic cultures. However,
basically designers get inspired at the Lakme Fashion Week held in Mumbai where
rare designer refuses to offer sari as a collection item. The Indian designers
are professionals in making different sari since they feel free to change their
traditional garment to cause envious replies and comments.
Today sari
is often seen at social routs when it is demonstrated as the part of luxury
atmosphere. It is also employed as a wedding element when a bride is willing to
have a wedding party a-la Indian culture or any ethnic fashion, on the whole. Elizabeth
Hurley appeared wearing sari at her wedding party since she married to an
Indian native. The pink-and-red bridal ensemble was embroidered with precious
stones of the four thousand pound sterling cost.
Puffy airy
drapery seems to be the perfect solution for the summer wear, for urban wear or
as a beach garment. It might happen soon, but today sari is still the exotic garment
which.
