Testimonial  So I finally got my memory stick adapter working and can upload the pictures of me and my husband wearing our clothes Ajay made for us. Everything fit great. My blouse was loose but I think I lost weight in the time from order to shipment. So no fault but my own. I did have a question as to washing the sari. Hand wash and hang dry? Also was the petticoat prewashed? The color bled onto me. I was very hot at the wedding and sweated a bit. I am happy to report I saw belly dancing out fits put to use at the wedding. Horray for SCA weddings, acting troupes and bellydancing durring supper Jen & Ven   |
Sari/Saree
|
Wedding dress in India include
heavy zari sarees and lehengas. These sarees and lehengas are either embroidered
with glittering gold or silver metal thread or woven are woven into them. Extensive
use of decorative tiny pearls and glass beads make these apparels heavy
and special too.
Traditionally in Indian ceremonies
very bright colours are used. They are made even brighter by the use
of all shiny decorations. These saris are produced mainly in Benaras. An
Indian bride's trousseau is incomplete without a traditional heavy sari
from Benaras. In the changing fashion scene trend the colors have become pastel
and of lighter shades. However, the embroidery and weaving in of gold and silver
still exists with much prominence. To these metal threads a new glitter
of bronze has been added in the last few years. The designs woven or embroidered
include the floral and leaves motifs primarily. The dancing figures, auspicious
symbols and series pictures of epics are also quite popular in designs
on this apparel. The Indian sari has found it's way not only in India,
but also in similar ceremonies of the west.
