If beauty is a garment, it would be a saree

in #steemgreet4 years ago

Saree is the most popular Indian dress which Indian women wear not only in India but also all over the world. Because of its sensuality, the saree has grabbed attention since ancient times. A saree makes a woman look gorgeous stylish, and elegant. From my sense of life, I watched that my mother, grandmother wear sarees, even they like to wear traditional sarees in various festivals, cultural functions and even in some family party or get together. But I like to wear handloom saree with a bright pallu or colorful motifs. I will show the style by sharing some images through my blog post.

When I was child, wearing a sari seemed to me like an elaborate game of dress-up. I would watch my mother reach over to the carefully folded stacks of cloth in a special part of her closet and make a selection for the occasional party or wedding ceremony. I have an urge to wear saree as after wearing saree, look of a woman has changed, it seems quite wonderful.
Then one day has come when my mother offered me top wear her saree in my fare well function of school...still I remember that day.
In India, generally Hindu women wear traditional dress like saree, now frequently worn by women of other religious groups in India as well. It consists of a 4-foot-wide length of cloth, generally varying in length, 5–9 yards; though for daily wear a 6-yard length is favoured. Actually, sarees are comfortable to wear, they might take time to drape if you are not used to wearing it but they are easy to wear.

But in India, the sari is not frozen in time. It is a living, breathing garment. On a family trip there last year, I noticed it everywhere: on the streets, where grandmothers wear saris and sneakers for their evening strolls; in the fields, where saris are functional attire for labor; and in the press, where the sari is frequent fodder for debates about politics, gender, and identity. Today, many designers have planned to create some awesome designs for sarees that really enhances all and woman in any age group can love to wear it.

I heard from many of my friends that they were trying to wear sarees in various occasions but saree is unmanageable to them as Saree is fussy item. As an Indian woman, I really will not acknowledge that substance. A sari doesn’t have to be a fussy performance, bound up with dogmatic notions of identity. It can simply be what I want it to be.

Thanks for your reading.
