Importance of Saree

[goodsense]

Forgive me, but I never knew of that word Lambretta before you used it on forum. And even then, I never knew that name related to your scooter you had in your avatar. That's the truth Lamby and I am sorry about it. Now you know how bad I had felt. :( :(

Digression:

Rachel,

You too thought of sheep when you see lamby? That's exactly what had happened to em - was thinking about a white fluffy pet one and Lamby was shocked and he said he quenched when he found ou the meaning behind Lammy (see hubber's event thread). At least I am not alone in such those thoughts to be taken strangely.
what is it?
Well I knew it as short for Lambretta in the west:

But she knew it as......well, shez already mentioned it....:oops: :roll:

what do u mean? sheep?

[goodsense]

Dign.

Yes Lamby, you used that word or something like that in either the Hubbers event thread or the shame thread - where I called you "Shy".

It's time to forget it, just mentioned it since Rachel came up with something similar.

Saree torture-aa? Appidina? :?
Inge vanthu majority (married) ladies trad'l aa thaan dress pannaranguh.......but mostly among housewives....I've noticed a few girls in 1/2 Sarees, altho very rarely.....mostly like, occasions-ku, kovil-ku pogache thaan kattikiranguh.....seems to be no existance of veshti/lungi among the guys tho (except sum of us who volunteer for RK mission wear them ther while helping in the temple!)
Hmm......well, looks like atlast we r coming back to main topic ie, Sarees! :D

anyway, abt the other thing, i thought she just meant the normal blouse being a bit translucent. and then u guys started to talk as if she was supporting indecent dressing. in fact, konjam mosamave pesaneenga. i felt that it was wrong of u to talk to a girl like that. so i had to go to her support!

[Lambretta]

hm...... what will u do if u fall in love with someone who doesn't like wearing sarees? will u try to persuade her to wear sarees?

About rachel...have been noticing she is quite pertubed by guys which sometimes forces her to make certain comments which seems like indecent...a sense of deep hatred for guys if you know what i mean...kalaiyilae avangalai pathi yethavethu guyskuda keitha experience nu keitaen...she didnt answer anything but the hatred was still showing.

:shock: 2 days.. and more than 15 pages. This thread by Swathy is really rocking on all cylinders. :D

Lambretta machan,
I read your reply regarding my comments on KERALA SAREE.

To be precise,

It is a light yellow coloured saree with RED colour silk border. You can see this in many Malayalam movies. Actresses will be using this one in temple scenes etc :P

I think it is one type of saree which could kill everybody seeing such women :P I mean a perfect HOMELY, RICH LOOKING one indeed. :P

Hope you got it :P

[bingleguy]

kerala saree ... are u talking about mundu selva ?

Shakthi ... unga daughter peru vaish aaa ?

[Arthi]

Wow my vote goes to Kerala saree :)
Selva u r right.. Kerala saree katti Netri-yil sandhanam vecha andha Azhgu thani dham. It gives you homely look

Anyway, i don't think saree will ever disappear! :D

[Hulkster]

Talking about Sarees, the combined total of Sarees that both my Mum and Sister have is 136 and they are planning to buy some more. Although i hope the reason why they have sarees is to look different on each occasion they go, can someone explain to me why such a huge number of sarees is needed?

And on sarees, My mum looks at the design on the munthani to see if it fits the saree usually and my sister has the same taste as my mother. How do any other girls/women choose sarees? Oru explanation koduthaenge na yenodeiya future pondadiku saree vanga uthavum.

[NM]

Hulkster :

It really depends on each woman's taste.
My mom and I like soft, light material. Even when we're shopping for silk sarees, this is the criteria we use. And, I like small borders. And, mundhanai is very important as sometimes the colour combinations may not be striking/matching. Some have beautiful pattern on the body but mundhanai would be very plain and vice versa......some people like white zarugai, some like it in gold...so it all depends really.....

[Hulkster]

So i other words the mundhanai must suit the pattern or colour of the body of the saree?

Yeah i too like soft,light material of the sarees as the thin and crass ones feel abit uncomfortable(im imagining if i wore a saree).

[NM]

yup...definately. I saw this beautiful dark purple saree once but the mundhanai was so disappointing! they had mixed dark purple and black !! it didn't bring out the dign on the mudhanai at all!

[Shakthiprabha.]

u know I always like...........

heavy worked blouses with PLAIN SAREE and not so heavy but pallu which has elegant work :D

I dont have such a saree or blouse as of now :D :)

[Hulkster]

digr::ah..... sth's wrong! i thought i was watching this topic. but it seems i haven't been. this is happening for quite a number of the threads i'm supposedly watching. is there any limit on the number of threads we can watch?

ok, how do i choose saree: material depends on the occasion the saree is for and who the saree is for. if it's for my mum, silk, printed silk, kanchi silk, etc for parties and cottons for everyday wear. if it's for my sis, then georgette, chiffon.

design: i like embroidery very much, esp embroidery on chiffon. but i search for nice embroidery in any material, including silk and cotton.

then, i also like choosing the best out of the latest designs. it's very important to keep up with the latest fashion! but i also try to get sth that is of the latest design but slightly different from the rest, usually from designer pieces, so that one can stand out from the rest!

ok, can;t think of what else abt sarees other than material and design.

for blouses, i like to get sarees with blouse material included so that it matches the saree and i only like plain stitching of blouses, no windows, strings etc. but of course the blouse will have design matching the saree.

[Lambretta]

How abt crepe silk? U shud try it out atleast once.....its really gorgeous! :thumbsup: :D
Can be suitable for young as well older women....

Hmm.....but wud cotton come under 'latest' fashion? :?


ok, can;t think of what else abt sarees other than material and design.
OK I think I cud give a tip here :) - wen u buy a cotton Saree, inskirt or even blouse, its sure to hav too much dye in it....so as soon as u take it home after buying, soak it in a bucket of water for a while, b4 u wear it for the 1st time.....my mother wud do tat wenever she bought cotton sarees/inskirts/blouses......let it loose the unwanted dye....cos if u wear it straightaway, the colour from the dye is sure to stick on to ur body.....:oops:

:thumbsup: :clap: Now I wish my future wife wud hav the same taste....! :D
Altho I dont really find neone here wearing blouses so ostentatious.....except tat they r rather a bit too low-necked at the back (even our maidservant wears them like tat! :oops: :roll:)

[Fire111999]

crepe silk? can't remember what it's like. i'll take note.



Hmm.....but wud cotton come under 'latest' fashion? :?
could as well actually, depends on the design. embroidery and stuff. but mostly, if it's cotton, it doesn't have to be latest fashion cos only for daily wear. i think vengatagiri, magalgiri designs are nice. and bengal cotton? no, actually, i think it's called sth else. i've to ask my cousin sis. i forgot the name. the designs in that type is really nice. and there's also new stuff in silk cotton as i was saying the other day (haven't found the name of that saree as well), but that is not pure cotton.

Jus did a search......here's wat it looks like:

http://kismet.develisys.com/images/products/2_5_9.jpg

The trouble is Im not able to find many good pics. of such sarees online.....! :(
Neways, as I said, these wer the type I bought for my mum.....altho the borders wer more simple.....sum had designs of fused plastic....!
U've got to see these Sarees close to know how gorgeous they look!.....& IMO, unlike in this pic., they look much better in dark colours! :D


hm... never knew this. but i know that my mum washes her cotton blouses before so that it becomes less tranparent.
Hmm.......never knew tat was another reason for washing them b4...also while stitching the blouses make sure they dont hav the print of the store/co. name seen on them! :)

is crepe silk similar to georgette?

and yeah, they only have horrible looking sarees on the net.

Nope, I think georgette is similar to Chiffon? :?
One of my mum's friends visited us wearing a dark green one once....

(also in one of the image search hits, I came across sum sarees advt'd in ebay india described as beautiful "Belly Dance" (!) Sarees :shock: :evil: )

no, chiffon is transclucent. georgette looks like the pic u referef to.

[Lambretta]

no, chiffon is transclucent. georgette looks like the pic u referef to.
Hmm.....maybe I was confusing them a bit.....but I rem. the one she was wearing wassnt translucent altho the texture was similar to chiffon....
My sis once bought a deep red shiffon Saree at Chandini Chowk , Delhi for around 10k! :shock:
Wen I saw it, I didnt think it was worth it at all, but for the shiny embroidery work on it.....I later saw pics. of her wearing it.....it seemed much too diaphanous! ugghhh.....

[Fire111999]

i don't know. i can't comment. but i do know that embroidery is worth a lot. my aunt got a kanchi silk embroidered saree for 16K for some wedding. it's quite ex. i mean, u can get quite grand zari work in wedding sarees for just 10K. but the embroidery saree didn't have so much zari but yet was more ex.

[Lambretta]

Yup embroidery is more or less on nething & everything nowadays....:)
For the effort it takes I guess the price is very high....

Have u seen About.com,they show you how to wear a saree with pictures..

Personally,my fav sarees are polycot sarees,they look decent and also stay in place....

[NM]

azhagi : i'm not familiar with polycot sarees..what material is that?

In Malaysia, there's a trend among the Malays to buy sarees (the soft versions) and stitch them into 'baju kurung', which is their traditional dress ( along skirt with an equally long, loose top). I have made salwar kameez using some old sarees, which are of soft material with small borders. They look georgeus!!

[Lambretta]

Thing is I've developd an aversion towards these websites or mags. tat r known to show u how to wear Sarees.....'cos the ones I've seen/herd of r said to emphasise on wearing it in wat is considered the 'fashionable' way today, of wearing Sarees- wudnt like to mention wat it is again...! :oops: :)

Hmm.....yea, but I cudnt imagine them to be too comfy in hot/humid weather......:?
Also bcos of their stiffness I doubt if they wud be freely adjustable wen u want to like, adjust the Saree a bit, now & then......

[bingleguy]

NM ... Polycot sarees are a blend of Polyester n Cotton ... with cotton being 80% and Poly taking the remaining 20% !

These polycot sarees come in various designs like Threaded P, Butta P, Plain P, Patch P, Block Print P !

Yea, I've heard abt tat trend......also was told couple of yrs ago tat sum Indian firm sold a whole shipload of Sarees to Malaysia below the Ind. market price (wich is known as 'dumping' in Import/export terms), as Sarees wer said to've lost their vlaue in India itself....!


I have made salwar kameez using some old sarees, which are of soft material with small borders. They look georgeus!!

actually the wedding sarees were only ok, not very nice. and for the other types, look at the sarees, anna! and also it's not as if they are being worn indecently. i think the girls look fine. after all it's for a advert. not for real life!

OK jokes apart wat I mean to say is, the way its worn also plays a role in how elegant it looks......I mean if u chek out the last 2 links in rmkv, they dont look like they r Sarees! I first thot the upper 2 pics. in the 3rd link wer Salwars! :lol:..... 'jus dont seem to hav the kind of effect tat a 'normally' worn Saree wud hav....! :)
Btw, r those light blue & orange ones in the last 2 pics. of the party silks link really Silk ones?? :?
The blue one esp. looks kinda translucent, like an ordinary fancy Saree!

they're trying to show as much of the elaborate design as possible, most of which will be in the pallu. so they have the different ways of wearing the saree such that the pallu comes infront. they want u to look at the saree design after all. i thought the blue one in the party silks had a really nice design. if the girl had been wearing it in the normal way, we wouldn't have been able to see it.

and abt the fancy silks, i think it might be a loose name and not really silk.

speaking of website pics on sarees the other day i got a link about new blouse designs....besides i think two pics all the others had the pallu twisted around their arm...so that the blouse could show....what's the point then? All the blouses are sooo high and have windows, strings, gems. mirrors...sometimes it really takes away the elegance of the saree itself...so it looks dowdy...and one or two or those beads, gems fall off will you wear it again? my seamstress is always going on about why you so plain...wasting money on simple sarees :roll: Though sometimes I kinda feel left out cause I never know what the latest trend is...i just buy what i like whatever the trend is...but you know people always have to comment that you are not conforming :?

http://www.homeindia.com/catalogue/apparel/silkcrepe/

is this what you mean by crepe silk Lambretta?

I thought crepe meant flat pancake french style :P kidding i really thought for some reason that crepe meant it would be the crinkled/crushed design...anyways here's link showing what the fabric looks like:

http://www.baronboutique.com/crepe.htm

[Fire111999]

Q, actually only the white and dark red saree looks nice in that first site. the rest are not really that nice! and can u actually tell how the fabric will look from the pix in the second site? i can't really.

and i think most of the sarees on sale online don't look nice. they have much nicer designs in the store and also you can't tell properly abt the saree from a pic on the net.

Actually Fire i didn't post that site for the sarees per se, nor am i advocating buying those or other saree online I was rather pointing out the the fabric that Lambretta kept referring to, I don't really like any of them...really you can't tell the difference between the crepe silk and say chiffon/silk/nylon/satin? Of course you can tell better in the shop...I'll put up an advertisement for hubbers in sampling a variety of fabrics the moment I open up a store of my own :roll: :P

i can kind of tell that it's different. but there are so many different materials nowadays. so it's hard to tell which one it is. i mean of course chiffon is obvious cos it's transclucent, satin is very smooth. but u can't really tell too much abt the rest. u can get all kinds of silk as well. so i don't see how pix can be any true representation of the material.

[Lambretta]

my seamstress is always going on about why you so plain...wasting money on simple sarees :roll:
Yea reaction same here- :roll:


Though sometimes I kinda feel left out cause I never know what the latest trend is...i just buy what i like whatever the trend is...
Trust me, ur better off Not knowing wat sum of the latest 'trends' r! :oops:
And yea, it'd always feel better at the end of the day, to know tat u've bought wat u like......


but you know people always have to comment that you are not conforming :?
Give sum of them a message from me:
Pppbbbttttt! (rude noise) :poke: Nyanyaninyahnyah....!


http://www.homeindia.com/catalogue/apparel/silkcrepe/

is this what you mean by crepe silk Lambretta?
Yup, these r the ones! Tks, glad u cud find sum better pics. of them! :D
Wow, the ones in page 1 atleast look gr8! :thumbsup: :D
Esp. the red & blue (in this case I dont mean the Sarees only! :wink:).....
But I wonder y the blue Saree's (page 1) referred to as Chiffon? :?
Doesnt look so at all......in the bigger version of the pic. it seems very much Crepe only....
Rather the green one & the Cream w/ dark green design look like chiffon ones; they r rather translucent.....
And the first site I've seen showing high-necked blouses! :clap:
I wonder if they r coming back into fashion (they did make a comeback once, in the '80s)......:)


I thought crepe meant flat pancake french style :P kidding i really thought for some reason that crepe meant it would be the crinkled/crushed design...
Nope, those r different.....I think they r called tissue silk or sumthing.....I dont like tat texture much either! :)


anyways here's link showing what the fabric looks like:

http://www.baronboutique.com/crepe.htm
Yea those r crepe ones, except for the orange one.....the wrinkled design makes it look more like a tissue silk one.....
Crepe, on closer look, has a metallic paint-like lustre....as the other ones in these pics...I like them best in dark colours! :wink:

[Lambretta]

and i think most of the sarees on sale online don't look nice. they have much nicer designs in the store and also you can't tell properly abt the saree from a pic on the net.
Well fire, I think comp'd to other sites I've seen, the one in the 1st link Que gave shows rather nice Sarees......esp. on the 1st page....
But yea, ur rite, we cant always tell properly abt Sarees from pics. online or even otherwise...same as while buying an old vehicle! :wink: :)
For eg. I really cudnt make out tat green & white/green ones on page 1 of the 1st link!
