Two days ago, a column in the newspaper said that western wear are gaining an edge over traditional Indian dresses. Yesterday, there was a column stating that none of the Bollywood actresses wore a saree to the awards function at Bangkok, rather they preferred gowns. Now when the westerners are borrowing from the rich Indian culture, whether it’s yoga, ayurveda or food habits, why are we running after western lifestyle? Why do we need to follow fashion trends from the west? Can’t we be the trend setters? Why have we forgotten that the nine yards of fabric, which identifies Indian culture is the only outfit having the potential to make any woman on earth look elegant. Sarees can let one flaunt those perfect curves. Sarees can help one hide those ugly flabs as well. Wearing sarees to work can be quite exasperating and this is when we can approve of western wears as a better alternative. But, when sarees paired with those fashionable halter-necks and spaghetti-straps and with a varied range of accessories, can make a lady look extremely hot and chic, do we need to replace this gorgeous and graceful dressing with evening gowns?

That truely was one of the posts i have read in ages.Saree is the most under appreciated fashion garment.Not only indians need to realise that they got to do something about it but they also gotta act on it.
The success of the sari through the ages is attributable to its total simplicity and practical comfort, combined with the sense of luxury a woman experiences. Though men are intrigued by the demure, floor-length attire and tantalizing display of a bare midriff at the back,sari truely flatters a woman.
