The 1940s post

Posted on 29/06/2012 by Anu M

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.

The Partially Draped Sari Post

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 🙂

Posted on 19/06/2012 by Anu M

A simple closed neck style. And just because Nutan is a vision of loveliness.

The “Flapper” Blouse

Posted on 11/06/2012 by Anu M

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.

The 1940s Blouse

Wondering if the 1940s blouses were influenced by the boxy look of wartime fashions in Europe.
