Whose Sari Now? Glamorous Fashions of India
Blogged under Apparel, Non-profits & Good Works by Michele Chan Santos on Tuesday 6 May 2008

Gorgeous colors and fabrics from India are making their mark this year, with Elle Macpherson sporting Indian-style tunics and Kate Hudson seen in a Dior dress that looks just kaneesha-choli-suit.jpglike a sari. The beautiful embroidered dresses and shawls are forgiving of every figure flaw, and they’re trendy now as well. To achieve that look yourself, consider buying a sari (long wrap dress) or choli (a decorative tight-fitting blouse worn with matching pants or under a sari) from Kaneesha. This lovely rose pink and aqua choli suit ($349; pictured) and the glamorous turquoise silk choli suit ($389) are both heavily embroidered with sequins, beads and stones. MarketPlace: Handwork of India is a fair-trade, not-for-profit organization that sells clothing and home décor products made by Indian women who are part of artisan cooperatives. At their site, you can buy many pieces of Indian clothing, including the Sonali dress, made of a batik print on cinnamon-colored fabric ($68). The Kumari top has long sleeves and is decorated with various hand-block prints for a unique look ($56 to $58). Marketplaceindia also sells many clothing items in petite and plus sizes. Novahaat.com carries many fabulous saris, suitable for an evening occasion, such as the elaborate Bollywood blue wedding party dress ($154). This stunning beaded Jamavar pashmina shawl could be worn over an evening dress ($85).
