Taant Saree- An Epic love story of a Bong Women

3/21/2015

White and Red coral bangles, huge red vermillon Bindi on the forehead, a bunch of iron keys dangling from one corner of vibrantly hued cotton saree designs. This is an image which I always conjure when I think of a typical Bengali woman. Politics, Literature, food and cotton are undoubtedly what drive Bengali folks.

Bong woman’s love affair with taant saree is time immorial, it perfectly suits the hot humid climate of the state, where, during summers you sweat by buckets. Taant is the only choice in keeping the fiery Bengali women cool all throughout the day.

Tant or Tanta, a handy pastel shaded fabric of gorgeous borders and papery-soft textures, keeps the exquisiteness and grace of sari intact with refreshing designs. These bright coloured handlooms are eminently woven with plain borders, colourful fancy artistic designs, hand woven bootis and printed motifs.

Tant, a Bengali word that literally spells “made on loom”, is basically a hand woven cotton fabric known for its airy, transparency, lightness, breathability and durability. Tant saris have a cut that flatters to both younger as well as elder generations.

Tant handlooms have a vibrant history during the times of Mughal dynasty. The tant weavers flourished to gain the patronage of Mughal emperor. They became popular as Tant Muslims in and around Deccai or Dhaka. Later during the late 18th century, British rulers tried to destroy this art in order to survive their textile industry.

Later, Bengal became the best maker of assortment of cotton handlooms. Tant saris became popular as Bengal’s pride. These are especially woven from Shantipur, Gobar Char, Dhaniakhali, Murshidabad, Nadia, Hooghly and other places of West Bengal after the partition of India. Burdwan, Hoogly, Murshidabad and Nadia in Bengal State are very famous centres for Tant weaves.

Anarkali for Tall Ladies

•   If you are a leggy lass, you’ve nothing to worry about; flared Anarkalis look great on tall and slender body types.

•   Select Anarkali salwar kameez woven in different fabrics like chiffon, georgette, cotton and crepe; with an accentuated empire waist line, this will work well for you.

Anarkali for Short and plump:

Ladies with such body type should have to be extra careful while wearing an Anarkali. Too much flare can make short girls look wee bit like a tent if you don’t select the correct fabric and cut.

•   The long length and fitting along the waist gives a slimming look and makes it perfect for a body type which is on the heavier side.

•   Wear single and light colours. Kalis should start from the shoulder instead of waist and kalis should not be too many.

•   A-line Anarkali with short borders is what you should pick. This gives an illusion of height and hides all the flaws of the body.

•   Go easy on the flare pick suits which are moderately flared.

•   You could also try picking a kurta that ends above your knee.

•   If you want to look slimmer, avoid Organza or any stiff cloth.

•   For broad shouldered busty women, Chiffons and Georgettes are apt. it can give you a toned down long accentuating the right curves.

•   If your arms are tad heavy, opt for half or long sleeves.

•   Don’t forget to team them with a gorgeous pair of heels

Thin Ladies –

Select fabric which will add volume to your structure such as organza, cotton and select the ones with lots of kalis and flares.

End of the day ladies live by these famous sayings of a great designer-Giorgio Armani- "Accentuate your best features and disguise" what you are not so happy with. Choose outfits that fit and make you look comfortable rather than those that are up-to-the minute”

Tip to Harmonize your Jewelry with Indian Wedding Dress

10/4/2014

Jewelry was, is and always will be a girl’s best friend! Bridal Sarees and Jewelries are is a way of keeping the beautiful memories of your wedding alive. Although brides head out first to purchase their first before their jewelry but trust me ladies after all the dust has settled down and you are married it’s the jewelry you will be after!

There are various reasons as to why you should choose your jewelry first, for starters your bridal jewelry costs way more than your lehenga or your saree; in fact it’s an investment. Secondly you can alter your neckline to match your jewelry but the option to alter your jewelry to match your neckline is out of the window. Your wedding jewelry can make or break your entire look, planning in advance can help you to get things organized and help you to achieve the look you want. Here are few ways to synchronize your bridal jewelry:

Contrast and look Fab-Let’s take a few pointers from a timeless fashion icon-Maharani Gayatri Devi, who swore by the rule of sporting contrasting jewelry with the colour of her outfit. While wearing a pink lehenga ditch the rubies and instead go for emerald. The green really pops against the pink and distinguishes itself. Similarly rubies look great with a green outfit, an all white outfit or even a yellow outfit! If your outfit is Pastel, stick to colorless stones and pearls, Pearls and Pastels are always a surefire winner! If your outfit is a riot of colors- again stick to pearls.

Select your blouse neckline accordingly:

A low blouse neckline looks great with chokers and pieces of jewelry closer to the neck provided you have a long neck. A higher one is complemented with layering- a Rani haar and a smaller piece which come over the fabric or absolutely no jewelry at all and just large earrings. Sometimes a higher neckline also works with a piece very close to the neck- but that should be color co-ordinated and look like an extension of your outfit

The shape of your neckline also matters. Round necklines look good with round necklaces, V necklines look good with V shaped necklaces, but sweetheart necklines are actually flattering for pretty much any piece of jewelry.

Ideally Jewelry must be chosen based on your Indian wedding dress but in case of weddings they always come first. Indians weddings are absolutely unimaginable without stunning jewelry and Bridal Sarees. They are a matter of pride of the bride and her family which can overtime become an heirloom. Play around and experiment with your look and don’t forget to choose them wisely and care for them with in the years to come!
