Navarathri Day 8 - Saraswathy Puja Outfit

Inspiration for the dress - Goddess Saraswathi ofcourse! Those splendid whites signify peace and calm. 


Decided to make an outfit in white to mark the occassion. I had purchased brocade and chiffon fabric to make an anarkali for self and  a shimmer net tissue dupatta to go with it, ended up using half of it for making this outfit! so i need to get them again if i have to make one for self, no probs, have another excuse to shop now! Talk about shopping, i went Deepavali shopping yesterday and got Pattu Paavadai Material for Adithi, Silk Sarees for my MIL & mom. Some salwar fabrics for sister & self.


I had attended Indi Blogger meet yesterday and i had a great afternoon meeting lots of like minded people. Made few friends. Hope they stay friends for life atleast online! need to go and catch up on every one of their blogs! Will do a separate post on the meet soon (the pics are in my sis's camera, hence the delay!)


Action Shots, here they come ....


As we started late (thanks to my sewing expedition of this dress!) we took the snaps at the parking lot , not much of lighting!

We went to my hubby's aunt's place (this was our only day when we went out to visit others's golu as we had guests every other day for our golu!) Here she is hesitantly posing for the snap almost saying, come on i need to play!

Pin It

Gold N Red Little Frock !

The Photoshoot was done by Dad-Daughter duo and i was not present hence i have no idea why such expressions. I love them thoroughly, do you need reason to have fun !??!

The dress was made by sheer luck (my DD seems to have a lot of it), as I had to alter my DD's friend's balloon dress, i was initially a sucker for ripping the seams and try to fend it off, by making a all new bodice (not just one infact two, the one which was made using bling fabric was abandoned!), using the brocade fabric (leftover from my Sister's Ghaghra Choli!) and then realized it was not good to change the bodice of a gifted dress, so decided to rip off the seams and alter it (Which i did, see the result here!)

So now there is a new bodice left unattended, what to do, attach a drindle skirt made using leftover fabrics, and voila, my DD gets a new frock which debuted at my Friend's son's 6th B'day!!!!
