This festive season all the shopping areas are busy with people shopping for Durga pooja, Diwali & the upcoming wedding season. I have been crazily shopping for a wedding in my family.
Along with accessories I love clothes & I got into a silk phase last year. I now own a considerable collection of silks - no complaints here :) I would like to share my collection of silk suits with you regularly. The crazy thing about me is that I do not like buying ready made suits or ready to stitch ones. I like getting them done the way I envision them.
In many cases I like a dupatta, which I buy & after that I start searching for the suit fabric, then get embroidery done on it matching the dupatta, finally the stitching. Some times I buy small bits & pieces of fabrics to use as patches on kurtas, then buy the main fabric & then the stiching. Crazy is int it? Yeah - I am not normal :P I love the process though! No wonder all the shop keepers I buy fabric from think I own a boutique! There was a time when I liked a Chain & made a whole outfit around that!
Watch this space in the coming days to see my collection of silks.
Dupatta - Georgette crêpe fabric with embroidery & borders on all 4 sides
The whole outfit - the kurta is made of Tussar silk fabric. The salwar is made of crêpe & matches the dupatta
The Yoke of the Kurta - Bigger motifs when compared to the rest of the outfit
Let me start with my latest purchases & then will get to the older ones in the future.
