Recently my mom gave me this pure french chiffon Sari, that has been a part of her collection for ages. It is definitely more than 30 years old. The first Sari in my collection which is vintage.
reasons why I am attracted to vintage clothing
- Unique or almost unique: many items were custom made, and others were manufactured in small quantities only.
- Good quality: they were designed to be worn for years and passed on to other family members, so they were made of robust materials, well cut and well made, with generous seam allowances and hems which allow for alterations and custom fit.
- Fine materials: many of the unusual older fabric types are no longer manufactured, or are now prohibitively expensive.
- History: an appreciation of the past, the roles of previous generations and the skills of respected designers.
- Detailing: hand finishing, unusual buttons, hand embroidery, handmade lace, crochet, applique, beading and other techniques.
- Style: vintage clothing has traditionally been the favourite of creative personalities because it offers an enormously wide range of imaginative styles.
Looking lovely Kiran, as usual. The saree is very beautiful and of course, special, because it was your Mom's. I like the blouse too.

Baluchari sarees - nice elaborate designs on them. Suited for wearing on historical, majestic, royal places.
ReplyDeleteTanta/Taant cotton - I like the colors and designs on it. Middle one best out of the 3 shown.
Kantha Sarees - wow, the designs
Dhakai - looks more transparent. Might require something underneath to wear along with it.
Patt silk - I like green one - 4th or 5th in no. from left side.
Most expensive sari - wow..such great work and for 4.5 crore.lolz. Let me accumulate money and I'l buy it but after that I will be on footpath with nothing left except my undergarments and maybe not even that.
Who will wear this 8kg saari..will require 2 maids to keep carrying the pullu along.
Kanjeevaram saree - good
Vintage saree - You look extremely beautiful in it. I guess you got the saree collection hobby from your mom.
I appreciate and admire the wealth of knowledge you have about sarees. Loved reading your posts. Too good. sachi sachi
one more degree given to u..Phd. in sarees... Dr. Goddess lol...
Have a nice day ahead. Keep smiling..

ReplyDeleteABSOLUTELY beautiful my darling!!!
ReplyDeleteI have my mother's saris too.
This is absolutely beautiful. And I definitely agree that vintage clothing is much more special in many ways. It's as if the clothes themselves have a history, a story, and we are elongating that story!
ReplyDeleteLet's be blog friends! Fitness trainer sounds really interesting!
