Last year I did the now famous “Steampink” natural form 1870s outfit made with a hot pink and gold sari. So I decided to go with cool yet bright colours. What better than the eponymous “Kass green”?
There are some who might bristle at the idea of cutting up a beautiful sari to make a Western garment. But I look at it this way — handwoven saris are produced by an ever-declining cottage industry.
