Dreaming of dressing up again? We got you covered!
Who here amongst us hasn’t dreamt of being draped in chiffon saree like a Yash Chopra movie heroine while being romanced by Shahrukh Khan? Let us help you bring that dream to life with these hand-painted, ultra-sheer saris by Label Advitiya by Poonam Bafna.
We have styled 3 saris from Advitiya’s debut collection, saris that will have you covered for occasions from morning to evening. The collection features super-light, easy-breezy sari styles that sets you apart for every occasion. These saris weigh around 100 grams each and are a dream to wear.
For our first look, Rinima is carrying a virgin white, ultra-sheer Organza sari with hand-painted, vibrant lilies in pink, orange, and yellow. The floral motif adds to the charm of spring while the styling makes it a subdued elegant look. The entire Advitiya collection, and this piece in particular was inspired by the timeless, regal looks sported by Maharani Gayatri Devi in her pastel chiffon saris.
We teamed a basic white tank top for a blouse while a Chandan haar necklace and solitaire earrings were the only jewelry worn by Rinima here.
Soft curls in her hair, loosely tied back in half, and a bright red lipstick to match with the motif on the sari. A soft day makeup look with shimmery eyes and coral blush up the royal quotient. A dot bindi completes this look.
The versatility of this sari lies in the fact that it can be worn to a brunch, a kitty party, even your cousin’s Roka. It can be styled with little to no jewelry and a pair of big, diva sunglasses would be perfect to finish the look in style and let’s not forget elegance.
Our second look includes this breathtaking sky blue Georgette sari with beautiful citrus lemons and leaves. To bring this piece to life, we took inspiration from Waheeda Rehman in a blue sari in the song Aaj Phir Jeene Ki Tamanna Hai from Guide.
A bare neck with hair tied in a bun, accentuated with a gajra gives this look an old-world charm. We sought a pair of danglers, a bracelet, and a dot bindi to embellish this outfit whereas a full make-up with bronze eyes and red lipstick makes this festive appropriate. This lemon blue sari would be a perfect outfit for your best friend’s Haldi.
For our most awaited look, Rinima is draped in a royal ink blue Georgette sari with metallic painted dandelions.
A cocktail look in blue and silver with a string of pearl necklace and bracelet is a classic and a look that is a class apart.
A matte maroon lip and smokey eyes bring out the Rekha-esque inspiration that we were going for with this outfit.
Saris are 9 yards of pure ageless beauty with unmatched versatility. We loved working with these timeless hand-painted pieces of art that can be draped to make any occasion special. Tell us in the comments what do you think of these looks and which one was your favourite?
