Tips on maintaining your Silk Sarees

I know how happy a girl can be when she buys a saree, but it does not end there. There goes a lot into maintaining it well, in order to use it for many years. When it comes to silk sarees, it is completely a different ball game. 

You might have read about my Silk Saree Collection, for those who haven't check this link.

I really cherish them and see to it they are maintained well.Now lets head on to the tips :

1 : Remove the Silk Saree from the cardboard box and store them in a cloth bag(or muslin cloth or dhoti cloth) that lets the saree breathe.

2 : Use some Closet Storage Fresheners with natural ingredients such as sandalwood.

My Love for Silk Saris...... & the continuing Lust

I am asking this question to myself : "Can I ever say No/Enough to Clothes or Jewelry or Cosmetics?"

No I cannot, even if I do,The Man knows that I am trying not to burn a hole in his pocket.

Well that is how a woman is wired I suppose..Being a South Indian Tamil girl , the thought of Kanchipuram Pattu(Silk)Sari or Paavadai(Skirt) revolves around you the moment you are born. It starts with pattu paavadai for your Birthdays, Half Sari when you are in your teens, & Sari when you are getting married. When you set out for bridal sari shopping to Kanchipuram,you are accompanied by your entire family, its kind of a picnic for the men & a day full of excitement for the women. 

The mother suggesting different colors,the sister taking pictures of you to see how well it suits you, the father sitting in a corner & admiring his grown up daughter trying out saris & giving a nod for everything..Aunties & other cousins choosing for themselves.. Yes its the occasion for them as well. So this is my post about my love for Silk Saris & some colorful pics of most of my saris...

1 : Engagement Sari No1

2 : Engagement Sari No 2 

I do not have the Sari with me... But the pic where I am wearing it. Both the engagement saris were bought from Kanchipuram , the first one from Prakash Silk Sarees & second one from Babu Sah.

3 : Wedding Sari No 1

4: Wedding Sari No 2 (Grahapravesham) When the bride goes to the Husband's house.
