making of an indian outfit
Choose. Stitch. Wear. Design your own traditional outfit, be it a salwar kameez, a lehenga choli or a saree. Walk through a maze of fabric shops to buy material of your choice. Get caught in the psychedelic web of colors & patterns. Decide on the embellishments from a range of borders, linings & lace. Once you have everything in place, visit a local tailor who stitches your one-of-a-kind Indian outfit as per your design.
Browse. We would start our day with a street market well known for fabrics . This market has everything from fabrics, to buttons, to borders, to readymade Indian wear etc. Look through various shops, choose your fabric.
Embellishment. Depending on the kind of outfit you want, we will then proceed to find embellishments for the outfit (ie embroidered pieces or borders) in the same market.
Visit a tailor. Once we have our fabrics, embellishments & design ready – we will meet a tailor & brief him.
Accessorise. We will also accessorise our outfit with glass bangles, bindis & pouches (bags). We will end with buying the traditional juttis (Indian shoes) that you wear with the Indian attire.
Fill the belly. After the satisfied session, we stop for a bite.
