Importance of Saree

I love sarees and my hubby loves me wearing it.. But after my d day I have worn saree on very few occasions. Totally 5 or 6 times in all 3 years..
1. Its very uncomfortable to do chores with saree
2. Saree and my son(1 yr)... Its very difficult for me to hold my son when I am wearing saree..
3. I am not able to move around freely..
4. Its a real hot attire.. U sweat a lot when u wear a saree..
5. When it comes taking things from loft .. I have to call someone for help...

Salwar Vazhga.. Nighty vazhga...

Saree ya patti ivlo deep ah discussion ah?

Lst year my cousin got married. sometime during june end :D

I had, with great interest and desire packed my sarees and my daughter's ghagras and came to chennai. On stepping chennai, I was frustrated to exp the heat, and wondered how am I gonna enjoy my saree show.

They tried earnestly for a/c hall, they could not get one, cause marriage happned with less notice of time.

The best part is yet to come. They had booked a hall, which was near their house (since commuting woulld be easier, also the only one available at short notice)

Hall was big, good, decent, large and numerous rooms, NON-AC......... (thats okei)....... but...........

It was a big mantapam, which had MARRIAGE OR FUNCTION AT 3RD FLOOR, LODGING AND ROOMS AT SECOND FLOOR, FOOD AND RECEPTION AT GROUND FLOOR...........and NO LIFT.......... WOWWWWW

:rotfl: :rotfl:

We all were DEAD TIRED, wearing those heavy sarees in june summer, walkin up and down for food, and rooms and function.........phewwwwwwwwwwwww................. ..

The night after wedding was over, i got into the train........ and at 6.00 am next day MY BANGALORE WELCOMED WITH ME ITS COOOOOOOOOL BREEEZE. It was HEAVEN.

How do I know u may wonder? Bcos I felt the same way wearing veshti/lungi initially! :lol:

yah I understand. I should try atleast once in a month.

I was so lean before so I tie only cotton sarees. Now I have put on weight so I shud try on other materials also.

---

Cotton, u mean the ones tat hav to be starched?? Eyah....I dont like those either! They feel rough enuff to cut ur skin, & so stiff w/ the starch (& they hav to be starched)!
I rem. once my mother & I went to this exibition wen we wer in Hyd.....ther wer many of these starchy cotton Sarees for sale, it seems they had sum handloom work on them or sumthin......but wen I touched one, I thot, its so stiff......how cud neone (esp. women) wear these, tat too in summer!
I then sarcastically muttered to my mum "chah! Ithu-enna, podavaiya paper-aa? Ithu mele theniyum news print panni padikilam pollerku!"
Of course the other ppl. around didnt understand me! :P[/quote]



:lol: but it will be too good after wearing. the major problem is maintenance :cry:

(sigh) where was i when this thread began? now i am just a nodder...yes i love sarees..i love shopping for them...funny my friends/mom come to trust me on designs...though i hate shopping/window shopping for anything else....some are really too much too bright colouring/design...some are way tooo glittery...but some of the oddest colours look so good on women! but i love the ones which are simple and beautiful design...i wore one for an engagement very simple light deep coffee/purple with muted gold curlicue design...everyone said what's this why no sparkle? I loved it...it looks so elegant..i saw this one with patches of soft furry design..."i was like maa look new carpet" :P I would wear one everyday except my mom thinks im crazy...i would love changing into one in the evening like they do in M'asia....the first one i wore was too heavy...i don't like half-sarees...here alot of gurls wear them...but i hate that they are too see-through, besides have to keep shifting, shifting making it looks just right....i wore guju style once..but too shy it shows too much...actually i like saree cause can tie it conservatively and not look dowdy....well except your wearing the ones that ayar-ladies wear..they look odd and stuffy...

I love to wear sarees..but as rami pointed out I never wear them except for some spl occasions which are even less out here.I cant wear saree for a long period..it is def uncomfortable.
hey how about the madisar..what are your thoughts on that mode of tying the saree.Ive worn it only twice and both times some one had to tie it for me.Its extremely complicated !!

true you do get tired wearing it a long time (one of SP :P )

that's what i meant madisar..not only does it look complicated it looks unkempt...maybe if it's tied properly it won't?

well Q..tied properly its def neat..dunno about it looking good though.Have heard various opinions abt it :P.Some people love it ,some think it exposes quite a bit of skin and some simply hate it :).
I for one was just glad to get out of it both the times.Def not my most fav way of tying the saree :)
