STYLISH AND MODERN LOOK WITH BANDHNI FABRIC

Look created out of old dupatta.

Bandhni is generally performed on cotton and silk fabrics. Nowadays, there are various bandhni designs and patterns available in the market, but in this situation, going out for fabric sourcing is not a good idea. So, what I had decided is to make a garment from old fabrics which are not in use.  Here, I have created a summer casual look giving it a classy, chic and pretty girlish look with soothing colors, white and pink combination.

If we can wear designed garments according to the seasons, we wear colors according to the seasons, then why are we not wearing Indian fabric garments which are the most suited to the Indian climate. It is now time to raise our voice for local, not only by speaking and designing Indian fabrics but we can s
