Onam, the harvest festival of Kerala has been almost drowned by the unprecedented flood fury. Yet, the state is trying to patch up with whatever is left and is attempting to celebrate in the face of acute adversity. Here is a brief description of an Onam ensemble which can bring some freshness.
Brocaded blouse has been the trend in the past as well as the present. The floral motifs on the red high boat-neck blouse with its sleeves weaved in with antique shade golden sequences and the Sari worked in two layers look fabulous. A unique Kerala design is being re-invented in the double layered ruffle sari, which has been weaved out with the beauty of a lehenga. The interwoven laces in antique gold, bronze and copper colours is what makes it strikingly special.
A handwoven anarkali with kasavu borders is just contemporary in all sense. A tulle jacket embellished with latest floral motifs, cut-beads, sequins make the look trendy.
Ruffles are the new experiments in Onam Saris. The golden threads of the green high-neck blouse creates a Zardosi style. It is the floral design that lends beauty to this apparel.
The kurta with beads stitched along one side makes it chic and can be paired with cigarette pants evoking a distinct style. The embroidery work on the Kurta is magical.
The palazzo with its kasavu border and ruffle crop top makes for a simple and beautiful ensemble for girl children. The golden laces in the crop top provides some novelty to floral design.
Infuse a modern touch to your traditional Kerala saree look by opting a saree with silver zari border , adorned with metal cut beads. Pair it with a pastel shade blouse to get the overall look right.
