How do you know which saree is made well?

What is the best material for them? Silk?

I am going to a wedding and everyone is wearing sarees and some are wearing kameez suits.

I see sarees for 0 and ones for 0. Will you look cheap in a cheaper one? Can anyone tell?

I want to find cotton and silk saree ... I look at Amazon the prices varies a lot. So I'm looking for good quality sarees ... If it is possible, natural silk saree ...

I will be traveling to India soon, and I'm so excited to have a saree hand-made for me! I know very little about sarees, except that they are beautiful.

I really like the style of sari that has the short little blouse on top (exposing the abdomen from below the bustline to just above the waist). What is this style called? I am a young woman, and I want my saree to look sleek and sexy.

More generally-- Is there anything I should make sure the saree has, or does not have? I am referring to certain fabrics, cuts, built-in belts, accessories, etc., that I should ask for in order to get a beautiful, well-fitting, quality dress. I have a friend who said that I should ask to have a belt included, and that Bernarsi fabric is best. What do you think??

Also, any information on proper pricing (and the cost of shipping such an item to the US) that you happen to have off the top of your head would be much appreciated.

Thank you soooooo much!! I can't wait!!!

My dad is going to india and i want a saree but i dont know the names of new type stylish sarees that youngsters wear

I usually wear sarees and blouses and it always bothers me because when the blouse material is transparent, the outline of my bra can be seen from the back! My skin colour is very fair!

Even my bra hooks and the colour of my bra will be exposed! I always feel a bit shy!

Do any of you have this worry? Which is better, white bra or black bra?

i am a sixty four year old widow.i have one son who is married and has recently shifted from abroad along with my daughter in law and granddaughters. my daughter in law [dil] is fortyone years old and my grand daughters are nineteen and seventeen .though i am reasonably broadminded i am extremely upset with the way my dil and grand daughters dress.they seem to like to expose their bodies .my dil though being an southindian prefers to wear jeans with t-shirts at home..even when she wears a saree she wears it much below her navel and it looks odd when the sarees are transperant.it is worse when she wears pants or lungis since she wears them nearly 2 to 3 inches below navel and wears short and deep tops exposing her stomach and cleavage.i have told her not to dress like that and to wear salwars at home since many of our friends and relatives keep coming home and i feel very much uncomfortable with the way my dil dresses.but she doesnt listen and loves showing off her body.my son also doesent mind the way she dresses and tells me that it is very common nowadays and asks me not to bother.other than this she is fine and affectionate.my grand daughters also dress in the same way and go to parties and bring their friends [both boys and girls] home.when they or my dil's friends come home and see my dil they keep appreciating about her looks and she feels even more happy and enjoys their stares and my grand daughters also are very proud of their mother.i was shocked when i heard my grand daughters' friends openly appreciating my dil's navel and commenting that she has lesser strechmarks on her stomach when compared to their mothers. they were cooly talking in front of me and my son and telling my dil to get her navel pierced since it will look great.My son and grand daughters also seemed to like the idea and told her to get her navel pierced if she wants to .i dont know how my sisters friends and other relatives will react to this.i am feeling very upset and feel like going off to ashram.i dont mind her wearing sleeveless deepnecked or low backed blouses or wearing sarees below her navel when the sarees are not very transperant. but i find it annoying whenever she wears pants/lungis with shot tops openly exposing her navel and cleavage. what shall i do? shall i ask my sisters to talk to her or just keep quite ignoring the entire issue .kindly advise.

Answer only if you are a female and vain, otherwise skip this question.

I have an elder sister who is very competitive. She pretty much wants to be taller, thinner, prettier than me, not that I consider myself better than her but I js don't get it why she has to constantly do that. It gives her a great pleasure whenever people say I look older than her, thinner than me etc, at first it was in a small amount than her obsession grew bigger.

Recently to attend a friends wedding, my bff and I bought a boutique saree. Mine was pink in colour, the sales lady told me that there were only two piece, one was sold which was green in colour and the other was mine.

That was my first saree and the only one I have. After the wedding, my sister came home and said her friend bought the same saree for a higher price . Her friend is getting married in 2 weeks time and apparently the " same saree" as mine was bought by her friend for my sister! For the first time I got really bothered, I don't know why!! I got very defensive , and said I may not come for the wedding because It will be really akward , two people wearing the same saree for a function. My sister immediately said the saree was not for the bride, but was meant for someone else and most probably its her. I than said what if she chooses to give her close relative and we both end up wearing the same saree for a wedding??? Its to embarassing. My mom started saying that I ws being vain, and there is nothing wrong in two people wearing the same thing. Am I over reacting?

Few things which bothered me:
1. Did the sales lady lie? But I saw the catalogue and it specifically said there is only two piece, one green and the other is pink.
2. Why didn't my sister say anything to her friend that I have the saree too and I got it for a cheaper price?
3. If my sister is making this up, why must she, when she can afford to buy many sarees and buy a better one than mine?

We went to Vanderbilt College SACE (South Asian Cultural Exchange) DiWali (Celebration of Lights) concert. Now her seeing all the beautiful sarees she has changed her mind from a prom theme to a Indian (India) Party.

I need to know what all I need to get for her to have a wonderful and unforgetable Birthday.

If anyone can help me I would appreciate it very much.

I'm a Sri Lankan girl who wants to have a Ocean theme wedding in sri lanka with perals, seashells and sand etc. but inside. Any ideas for table centers, favors etc?
Also... where can I get shell shaped beads or saris/sarees with shell shaped beads?? thank youuu

I am from India and my man is American. We got married in India earlier this year and plan to have a Catholic wedding here in US for freidns and family here.
I want to have something in our wedding that symbolizes both our cultures. Most of our family and friends here are not-Indian - But they are all awed by the color and deisgns and stlyes we have in india.

I was planning on wearing a white gown (typical) fo rthe wedding. The wedding is at a church followed by a late-eveningreception. My husbnad and groomsmen will wear a tuxedo. Will it be appropriate to the bridesmaid to wear a Sarree??? I was thinking about having the same color and style sarees for all the bridesmaid. Apart from the 5 bridesmaid I plan to have at the wedding, my mother will also be in a saree.

Do you guys think that will look good? Please give your honest opinion. All the beidesmaid I have, two are Indians (so they wont have problem wearing saree and being comfy in it) and three are Americans (but they love sarees, have never worn them before -but they like the colors and have seen many Indian movies etc. so I am sure they will be excited about the idea.)

Please give me your input?

I need traditional Clothes like suits and sarees.

Well, I have two 'bridesmaids' (just really wedding attendants). I'm not having a traditional Indian wedding, but I'm wearing a very simple Indian dress that fades from orange to maroon (fall-themed wedding). I asked a similar question before, and some people thought it may be too easy for them to be dressy.

So I'm looking for very plain sarees preferably in maroon or brown or leaf-green. I mean, really plain, where if there is a design, it'll not very major. My dress is really simple and of course I don't want them to have something dressier than me.

I am attending a tradtional Indian wedding very soon. (in Australia)

HOWEVER! It is a cross cultural affair - the bride is Jewish Anglo-Saxon and the groom is Fijian Indian. They have had a tradtional "white wedding" to celebrate the bride's heritage and now they are having a traditional Indian wedding to celebrate the groom's.

We have been asked to dress in Saris/Sarees; what should I look for that will suit me as a tall, fair (ie white) skinned, blonde female that will suit me but keep to all the traditions of an Indian wedding in style, colour etc?

Also, what about hair, jewellery, shoes etc?

I understand that red is the traditional colour for the bride, but is it also appropriate for guests to wear as well or is it considered a big no-no to wear the same colour like it is in more Christian ceremonies?

Help?!
The bride is taking a group of her girlfriends, including me, shopping for saris before the wedding, but I'm looking for some advice before I go so I know have more of an idea on what to look for and what to ignore so I don't have to constantly hassle her on the day!

Hi Everyone

Is there any online shops, other than rupalionline.com, where i can purchase Indan suits, sarees and Jewelry etc.
And also they r based in the UK...

Many Thanks

My fiance and I are having a mixed wedding that follows his family's Indian cultural traditions. Fortunately, my non-Indian family wants to wear Indian attire for the event. My mom and sister will be wearing sarees with custom blouses, so I don't need size help with that, but I will be buying my niece's outfit ready made and don't know how to deal with sizes. We will likely buy the outfit in India, but it is also possible we buy it in the UK or on the Internet. She will be 5 1/2 and probably around a 6T at the time of the wedding in 6 mos. (She is a Size 5 US now, I think.)

Also, my nephew will be a 1 year old by the wedding. He's hefty now. Any size suggestions there too?

THANKS!!!

What are you talking about? She is dressing like a normal girl. In India(and the Indian subcontinent), salwar kameez, sarees, lenghar etc are normal, everyday clothing for women and girls, and it so happens to be traditional. If you're thinking jeans and t-shirts etc as "normal" (by the way I interpret it, you seem think those are the only normal clothing on this earth), then maybe you should stop dressing like the only place you've ever been to is America/UK/Mars. Racial matter is not the thing of the past if people are continually discriminating against a person/people just because of the differences in skin colour, culture, nationality and religion. And what's wrong with traditions? They won't cause any problems so as long as you keep your business to yourself. It's not doing any harm. Shilpa Shetty is not causing any problems, nor does she have any problems with anyone else in the "Celebrity" Big Brother house. As said many times before, she's a victim of bullying and racial abuse by a few of the housemates who are embarrassing and giving a bad name to us Brits - we always prided ourselves for our multicultural society and racial integration. I believe that those other, rather grotesque-looking fellow housemates are treating Shilpa Shetty this way because they think they are "celebrities" and "famous" enough to get away with it, with "fans" backing them (er, yeah right!). I also believe that they're jealous because she's rich, beautiful and successful in her native country (by that I meant 'positively', unlike Jade 'Sshhit Perfume' Goody) and perhaps even with a fantastic likeable personality to go with her looks... maybe... I don't know her, but it’s possible. Don’t get me wrong; I’m not siding with her just because I’m Asian, because I’m English too. I’m not familiar with Shetty’s work (same with the other contestants) and apart from the above clip, I’ve never watched Big Brother in my entire life and I never will, for that matter, as it’s just the regular low-brow, classless, quick-fame-and-fortune, entertainment-for-the-stupid “reality” crap. I’m guessing the average viewer of Big Brother watches soaps like Eastenders, read celebrity-infatuated magazines and tabloids like The Sun and Closer, and is very uneducated and inexperienced (possibly, no wait…highly likely). One other thing [sprawlinvideos], why should one be accepted to a particular racial group? Shouldn’t one be accepted despite of their race? By the way, “Paki” does not mean “Pakistan”, it’s a racist expletive used to refer Asians especially in the UK, very much like the “N” word used in referral to people of African/Caribbean descent. This is all I have to say for now.

my husband i used to behave like a woman always and he looks very Pretty like a woman.. he used to wear my clothes when im not in home but i knew that...now he is asking me to wear my sarees i allow him for oneday to wear i shocked he lookzzz very Pretty like a woman shall i allow him to wear always.......
