Evergreen Silk Sarees

Silk saree

BY RANI SHARMA

Silk has always been a fabric close to everyone’s heart. If is considered the queen of fabrics, and has been dominating the textile industry with its shimmer, shiny feel and glamour for decades. Silk sarees still whisper the tale of the beautiful prince and princess in India. These days, heritage silk sarees are further adorned with embroidery and other work for an exclusive look.

1 Ivory cream gold katan silk saree with maroon patli pallu that is adorned with gold booti and big pitta zari border and silk piping. The blouse plays the main role in this saree. I use the saree fabric and set the border in different cuts and shapes.
Jewelry: Wear with traditional old fashioned heavy necklace with jhumki earrings and a thick kada in one hand .
Make up: Very dark and bright. Wear your hair in an up do. Pair with comfortable wedge high heels and carry a silk potli purse.

2. Mustard gold silk jacquard fabric with plain contrast silk pallu . The main beauty of saree is a very thick resham border finished with silk piping. The border is usually a combination of colors like orange and green and accentuated with intricate design. The blouse matches the piping of the saree and the sleeves are made out of the border setting.
Jewelry: A string of big beads that match the color of the saree.
Make-up: Not too heavy make-up and open hair. Carry a flat silk purse and wear platform heels.
