Varanasi Saris

Sari is a favorite piece of clothing in India and is one of the most elegant of dresses. It is available in various textures. It is basically a 5.5 to 6 meter long piece of cloth some 4 feet wide. It could be made of chiffon, silk, cotton or polyester. It is draped around the waist on top of a petticoat with a lot of plaits in front and one end is taken over the shoulder and sometimes used to cover the head. There are various ways to wear a sari depending on the style you prefer. It is worn with a matching blouse. These days hand embroidered saris are very much in vogue and are a craze amongst the ladies in India. It is available all over India but silk saris from Varanasi are famous. In Bareilly is famous for zari-zardosi work and a lot of designers get it made from here. A lot of people wear printed saris too.

Crinkly Cotton Shirts

I have a crinkly cotton shirt, sheer with elbow length sleeves, in a lime green. I wear it a lot. In fact, I liked it so well I bought two others, in lemon yellow and orange. I call them my citrus sherbet shirts. They are loose fitting but not sloppy. These garments are easy to care for and always feel cool and comfortable, even on a sizzling hot day. I can dress them up with a little jewelry and wear them anywhere. They fit nicely under a cardigan sweater on a chilly day, too. No matter which one I wear, people say to me, “Nice color”.

Cotton is Key for Summer Fashion

I prefer wearing cotton clothes in summer. I usually wear ready-made garments and sometimes I also wear dresses stitched by my tailor according to my instructions. I always tell him not to put collars so that I can avoid sweating around the neck.
During the summer I usually buy loose cotton T shirts and cotton trousers in WEARHOUSE, the outlet which sell CAMEL brands. I also buy short pants and sleeveless tops on roadside so that I can wear at home.
My tailor always gives me the best advises about the new style running in the market and stitches according to that. But I never give others to select the cloths for myself as I am very choosy about the designs, prints and colors.
