Be it on the road, ramp or any other place that
you walk wearing this traditional yet elegant attire,
you are sure to draw the attention of many. Saree, the evergreen outfit, adds grace,
glamour, beauty and confidence to your personality. It is the only dress form
that suits girls and women
of every age and physique.
In
India, we have a variety of sarees, each unique in itself. There are certain
places which are
famous for their work and design of sarees. Kanchipuram, Banarasi, Sambalpuri,
Gadwal,Chanderi to
name a few, are some of the most highly valued possession desired by every
women. Besides, every state in India has its own trend of saree worn
in different style. A saree is made from
different fabrics such
as cotton, silk, khadi, chiffon, synthetic, crepe, etc. The uniqueness of every saree comes from its design,
colour combination, work pattern and texture.
The
credit for this uniqueness and elegance goes to none other but the weavers, who
with their
hard labour are able to produce those intricacies of design and patterns with absolute fineness,
giving that perfect look and class to a saree. In earlier days, weavers use to
weave sarees by hand, with the entire family involved. Nowadays, weaving machines are used yet in many places weavers
still maintain the age- old tradition of manual weaving. Here
what is important is the fact that, though weaving machines ease some of the load
off the weavers and produce the output faster, yet there is a difference in the
finish between
a machine woven and hand woven saree; undoubtedly, the hand woven one is more
classy.
Women
folk wear sarees also in Nepal and Sri
Lanka, though the draping is in a different style.
However, its history belongs to India
where it has been worn since ages. It
is highly affordable by all classes and sells for a range beginning from a
hundred to crores of rupees
a piece
The
popularity of the saree is spreading fast worldwide with foreign tourists not
only enjoying shopping for
them but also taking an interest in learning how it is draped. Further, there
is an increase in demand abroad
for organising fashion shows on saree
where mostly foreign models are willing to walk down the ramp
in this Indian attire with lots of buyers lapping them up.
Though young girls of
today and even working women don Western dresses because of their comfort and easy
wearable features, grace and glamour of a saree remains unbeatable. Not only
this, the possession of unique
and ‘branded’ does count and is considered as a status symbol. With more and more trends and fashion of
saree emerging time and again and none getting outdated, this evergreen fashion will surely fascinate women
forever. So girls, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and fill in your wardrobe with this exotic
