I am not sure what’s going on here. There is a bindi. A Spanish rose. That khanjar. A polka dot skirt. And a demure blouse – sort of – free of pallu.
Sexifying the Saree can be done in many ways – the diaphanous, slipping pallu will however always be No. 1.
A busy blouse on the divine Miss Meena. And the part drape tradition continues to this day 🙂
A simple closed neck style. And just because Nutan is a vision of loveliness.
What the well dressed journo was wearing circa 1958. Check out the piping and back buttons!
Probably from the 1930s with Devika Rani channeling her inner flapper. The sari brooch needs to make a comeback. The heroines of 1920s and 1930s Indian cinema were kickass. Pic from The Hindu Photo Library.
Wondering if the 1940s blouses were influenced by the boxy look of wartime fashions in Europe.
