READIPRINT FASHIONS
The saree blouse is a garment worn for the upper half of the body. The lehenga and the saree both have a blouse component in their attire.
Traditionally, saree blouses were simply stitched with a border that matched the pallu of the saree. However, today’s saree blouses have experienced an immense fashion reinvention. They are no longer the hidden part of the saree.
Saree blouses today have taken inspiration from Western wear. It is now common to see blouses with a bustier, spaghetti strap, corset or halter. Styles like this give the humble blouse a chic and sophisticated look.
Origins of the Blouse
Saree blouses were once referred to as cholis. They were usually made from a silk fabric or cotton and didn’t have a collar or long sleeves. They did however have buttons. It was introduced by
launderers so that they could differentiate between female and male garments. Over time, the blouse evolved from being a demure clothing item to a sophisticated companion of the saree.
Stitching a Saree Blouse
The saree blouse is one of the most difficult components to make. It requires great skill and talent to put together up to 6 pieces of fabric together in such a way that it feels natural. Your
saree blouse needs to feel comfortable and natural, while complementing your curves at the same time.
Designs
The stylish saree blouse features unique designs such as high neck, low neck, low back, spaghetti straps, backless, rustic choli, one-shoulder, off the shoulder, sleeveless and full sleeve,
etc.
Embellishments
The saree blouse is no longer just pieces of cloth stitched together. It is cut in a stylish manner with various embellishments that are added to it such as embroidery, brocade and zari. Dabka,
neem zari, kundan and sequins may also be added to further stylize the blouse.
From its beginnings as a modest attire to a stylish and chic clothing attire, the saree blouse has experienced its own fashion evolution.
