Funk up your sari blouse.....

The season of weddings is going to start! As you and your girls hop onto the bridal bandwagon and get super excited about clothes, clothes and more clothes you might just give a miss to a little something that will either make or break your outfit.

The right blouse is as important as trying to find that one outfit that will make you look like a princess. So, find the best blouse for you: Know your body, Do you want to flaunt your assets or want to minimise an ample bosom? This is the first concern of every woman.

According to one top designer , "You must keep the colour, fabric, cut and embroidery in mind for a blouse that will give you the shape that you desire." For the well-endowed woman, "If you want to minimise a big chest, get a nice low V (but not too low depending on your comfort level) and use a darker shade on your chest and lighter shade on the sleeves. Do not cover your neck with fabrics because this will only add to the bulk."

"It is very important to wear a good bra. Also, shift the emphasis away from the chest by using darker shades for your blouse and a brighter shade for the rest of your ensemble. Also, do not use too much embroidery on your chest area and the way you drape your sari or dupatta will add or reduce the bulk. A well-endowed woman must be happy about her bosom and celebrate what she’s got!"

Using a light fabric like georgette or chiffon or satin-silk on the chest area and a heavier fabric like velvet on the sleeves or the lining will make the chest area appear slimmer. Shift the focus to your back with a sexy cut and tie-up strings with colourful dogris. Puff sleeves with interesting detailing offer the right feminine touch.

For the slim woman who wants to look voluptuous.

Designers votes for cups, This implies a nice push-up bra or inbuilt cups in your blouse.
You can design your blouse with exquisite embroidery on the chest area and use a bright shade contrasting with the muted shades of the rest of your ensemble.

Stitch or design a bandhgala blouse with in-cut sleeves and show it off by elegantly draping the dupatta or pallu around your hand rather than across your chest.
Matching is passé Showcasing your creativity is the trend these days; so mix and match works best! Therefore, even if you go for the blouse first and decide on the right sari or lehenga later, it’s perfectly fine.

" cholis are hot sellers this season . Everyone wants one stellar choli that can be paired with ten different saris and lehengas. We've mixed embroideries like bandhini and brocade to create interesting prints and teamed different fabrics in one choli so that it looks interesting. I don't like matching the sari with the blouse." says one big designer.

So, imagine you have an emerald green blouse. Now think of all the colours you can mix it with – pink, black, beige, yellow, creams, gold… keep those creative juices flowing and you'll hit the style jackpot.
