I was searching up Sabyasachi and came across some posts of people wanting to see a full version of a saree worn by Aishwarya Rai on the Oprah show. Here is a full version i
Aishwarya Rai
Worn in real by someone I know
What do you guys think of it? I really liked it on this lady and wanted to buy one for myself but was told by a friend that it’s nothing ‘extraordinary’ …
Well, this lady did not have the pallu gathered the entire time. She did have it open for the most part but I couldn't find a photo of her with the open pallu. I loved the embroidery/colours/fabric combination in real life. I know her blouse did not fit her nicely but if worn right it will definitely look very classy. I am no saree expert but this one looked like a piece of art to me when I saw it. My husband loved it too. Do you think it's worth buying?
with proper blouse fitting, and the right jewelry, I think it would look lovely!! as with anything, if the person wearing the sari is confident and carries themselves with class and elegance, then even a potato sack will look spectacular!
Hmm you know what the second one kind of looks like a copy, the kaam doesn't look nice but maybe its just because its not a closeup. Anywhoo i love Aish's saree Id say go for it. The colors are super nice and flattering too.
I agree, the second pic looks like a really bad replica of the Sabyasachi original. Plus, the blouse is not tailored properly & the draping is horrible!
It is an original. The blouse does not fit as well and overall quality of the photo isn't good but I have seen it in person and it is gorgeous. Plus, I have spoken directly with the designer with this lady's reference and it is definitely a pricey saree but I can't get it out of my head.
As for Aishwarya, she can even make a garbage bag look pretty. I am hoping that my husband will buy it for me for our first anniversary :D
soooooo, i did end up getting it … i got it yesterday and finally tried it on today. it is gorgeous. i was wearing a full skirted dress and wore the saree on top of it just to see how it looks. i think if worn right it would look beautiful … here are some photos ( i am not wearing any heels with it and also no petticoat so don’t mind the sloppiness)
the dress i was wearing before i decided to try the saree on
The dress is full skirted so it gave me a bit of a bump on my stomach under the saree
as with anything, if the person wearing the sari is confident and carries themselves with class and elegance, then even a potato sack will look spectacular!
the saree which rani mukerjee wore whilst on koffee with karan retails at about $995usd, so im guessing its about 1800usd but thats jus a guess- sabyasachi velvet sarees are really exp!!!
